The I-Corps@Ohio program is a statewide grant program developed to assist faculty, staff and students from Ohio universities, colleges and community colleges in validating the market potential of technologies and launching start-up companies. The program is managed by Ohio State’s TEC Institute and fully funded by the Ohio Department of Higher Education. I-Corps@Ohio is modeled after and approved by the National Science Foundation’s (NSF) successful Innovation Corps (I-Corps) program, which has been proven to increase innovation, entrepreneurship, and industry collaboration.
