Surviving and Thriving
in an era of
Cascading Change

The challenges are enormous, but the opportunities are far greater.

 

Creating business models and solutions to address the underlying problems requires new approaches, different relationships and deploying one-of-a-kind global assets.

 

We focus national lab and enterprise partner resources on areas where there is a clear intersection of market opportunity and expertise.

We connect the right people and right resources at the right time.

 

We support Advanced Energy, Energy Efficiency, AI/Machine Learning, Mobility Solutions, Smart Cities IoT, Climate Impact Mitigation, and Supercomputing/Compute.

 

Sourced from our global network, we match high-impact technologies with a range of capital, early customers, and early exit opportunities.

We Catalyze Cross-Industry Collaboration

The Innovation Corridor Today

Our connections are many. Our unique value is the ability to creatively identify and link together passionate and talented people with cutting-edge innovations and projects.

Our technology acceleration platform facilitates the creation of inter-organizational, multi-disciplinary teams via deep relationships with national labs, Fortune 500 companies, global academic research institutions, and governmental entities.

The Innovation Corridor is a member of the American Made Channel Partner Network, which includes, Argonne National Lab, Brookhaven, Clean Energy Business Network, Clean Energy Trust, Clean Energy Venture Group, Duke University Energy Initiative, Lawrence Berkeley National Lab, Fermi, Fraunhofer, and Princeton Plasma Physics, among others.

 

With over 3,000 research scientists and staff, state-of-the-art testing and validation capabilities, and enterprise resources, the IC finds value where others cannot.

We support high-impact companies and projects, and look for solutions to some of the world’s most difficult but important problems. We believe in the power of shared goals.

We leverage technical, financial, and organizational efficiencies to develop, de-risk and accelerate the launch of global solutions..

We support the applications of AI, emerging technologies, and innovations in the built environment.

The scale of the most difficult and important problems is global and the IC provides world-class solutions to meet these global challenges.

We focus on Smart Cities IoT-related opportunities and:

  • Advanced Energy
  • Smart Cities and Regions
  • Energy Efficiency
  • The Built Environment
  • Supercomputing/Compute
  • AI/Machine Learning
  • Autonomous and Connected Vehicles
  • Electric Drivetrain Infrastructure
  • Fintech
  • The Utility Sector
  • Edge Computing.

We have an opportunity to leave the world a bit better than when we arrived – we do not just want to survive, we want to thrive in a world that’s changing faster than ever.

If you want to run fast, run alone.

If you want to run far, run together.
