The EDIR team partners with members of the Office of the Vice President for Research as an I-Corps site.
The program is focused on building a more pervasive culture of entrepreneurship and innovation across the entire campus community with a specific emphasis on translating discoveries that reflect the Iowa State University’s strengths in engineering, biorenewables, materials science and agriculture, food and nutrition, and veterinary medicine.
The program enhances entrepreneurship and innovation already happening across campus, fosters connections with other Midwest I-Corps Sites, and helps strengthen the nation’s innovation fabric. The four-week curriculum focuses on customer discovery to support the transition of ideas, devices, processes, or intellectual activities into the marketplace. This can be realized through the formation of new start-up businesses, licensing agreements, or identifying funding sources to support additional research.
