U M Helps Organize NSF Great Lakes Business Advisory Group

ANN ARBOR – The NSF I-Corps Hub: Great Lakes Region is part of the National Innovation Network, a national network of NSF-funded researchers from I-Corps Teams and Hubs. Working together, this network of thinkers addresses America’s need for innovation education.

Long-time Michigan entrepreneurial influencer Diane Durance explains in the vide interview that to achieve the goal of creating a collaborative network across the region, the Great Lakes Regional I-Corps Hub leverages resources and expertise from each university and hosts world-class training programs for scientists and engineers.

The University of Michigan is leading this program that goes beyond the typical technology transfer program. Several meetings are scheduled to continue to introduce I-Corps Hub to Michigan entrepreneurs, investors and educational institutions.

A breakfast is scheduled on the U-M North Campus for April 10, followed by an evening program in Jackson at the Lean Rocket Lab in May.
