Applications open for Innovation Corps teams

The UAF Center for Innovation, Commercialization and Entrepreneurship is looking for the next round of teams to join its National Science Foundation-funded Innovation Corps site program.

This program is approximately six weeks long and provides team members with training and connections to develop a mentor network of seasoned entrepreneurs, and funds the team’s customer discovery process. Participation in Innovation Corps gives team members the skills to take their tech out of the lab, and trains scientists, engineers and researchers in startup best practices. Participants will learn how to get customer feedback before building and launching products or businesses and develop an evidence-based commercialization strategy and plan. 

Find more information at Center ICE’s I-Corps website or apply directly for fall 2021. The new cohort of teams will likely start the program at the end of September or early October.
