Programs and Partners
Innovation Partners Institute
The Institute brings together the right partners to turn concepts into early-stage solutions to solve big problems. Their vision is to go from marketplace problem to tangible solution in 18-24 months. To do that, the Institute serves as a collaborative “place in the middle” bringing together ideas and talent, hand-picked external experts, financial and corporate resources, and critical capabilities and capacities to address a specific challenge or opportunity.
"This new facility will enable us to enhance the service we provide to our customers in the area and we will benefit from the proximity to Purdue by both research and the talent pool the university provides."
