The National Science Foundation (NSF) Innovation Corps (I-Corps) program is designed to help researchers and entrepreneurs validate the commercial potential of their innovations. Through a combination of training, mentorship, and funding, participants in the I-Corps program learn how to assess market demand, develop a business model, and refine their technology for commercialization. The ultimate goal of the I-Corps program is to accelerate the transition of cutting-edge research from the lab to the marketplace.
