    Info Session: Accelerate UConn NSF I-Corps Program

    Learn how to make real-world impact with your innovations by turning them into products/services that create value in the market

    ​Take your novel ideas to the next level by understanding how your research discovery or innovation can create value for potential customers. Learn about the people who could benefit from the commercialization of your technology and deepen your connections to the market ecosystem. Develop your skills for innovation, entrepreneurship, and technology commercialization through experiential learning. For scientific researchers, innovators, and tech-entrepreneurs, I-Corps has become the standard for commercializing research discoveries and technological innovations across the country!

    ​Accelerate UConn is UConn’s NSF I-Corps Program which provides specialized training and stipends of up to $1,500 to teams interested in exploring the commercial viability of their ideas for products and businesses that are based on their own inventions, University intellectual property, or any STEM-related technology.

    ​In this one hour, virtual info session, you’ll hear from the Lead Instructor and Program Manager about the application process, teaching methodology and layout of the program. Learn if your technology is a good fit, and about potential commercialization pipelines. Each member of your team that is attending should RSVP individually.

    ​Who Should Attend:

    • ​Faculty, postdoctoral researchers, graduate students and/or undergraduates who are developing a scientific or technical discovery at any institution in the Northeast.

    • ​Student innovators with an idea for a STEM-based innovation wanting to take the idea beyond the classroom into the market

    • ​Innovators from across the Northeast region looking to commercialize their technology

    • ​Startups founders in the region with a technology-based innovation looking to explore its commercial potential

    ​Benefits of the I-Corps Program:

    • ​TRAINING: Four sessions introduce the I-Corps Lean LaunchPad approach to evaluating technologies through customer-discovery research, focused on identifying the technology’s potential for development in a startup or other venture.

    • ​FUNDING: Stipends of up to $1,500 are provided to each team and can be used to fund customer-discovery expenses such as travel to conferences & trade shows, patient advocacy groups, and LinkedIn Premium

    • ​RESOURCES: Teams will receive mentorship from seasoned entrepreneurs and innovators. Teams may also access other programs offered by Hub-affiliated institutions.

    • ​FOLLOW-ON OPPORTUNITIES: Upon completion, teams are eligible for the national NSF I-Corps Teams program which provides an intensive 7-week training course and a $50,000 grant.
