Fund For Innovation
A signature program of the Invent Penn State initiative, the Fund for Innovation aims to de-risk and accelerate the development of Penn State’s commercially promising research for the purposes of licensing or company formation. The program is a collaboration between Invent Penn State, the Office of the Senior Vice President for Research, and the academic colleges.
