Over the past 25 years, we’ve trained more than 3,000 early-stage innovation teams and helped launch over 850 ventures that have raised close to $1billion in public and private investments. These ventures have reached millions of people in over 50 countries with technological advancements in fields such as biotechnology, healthcare, sustainable energy and materials, and solutions for low-resource settings.

our commitment to environmental sustainability
To help solve the global issues we face today, it’s more important than ever to invent products and services that help people and the planet. With this in mind, we’ve developed many resources and tools to help educators integrate principles of environmental sustainability into their engineering and innovation curricula and programs.
