IPO’s I-Corps Entrepreneurial Training starts May 2021

At Berkeley Lab, we take innovation seriously and the Intellectual Property Office is proud to lead the I-Corps Program. I-Corps, short for innovation corps, is an entrepreneurial training program funded by The Dept of Energy’s Office of Technology Transitions that embodies the Federal Government’s commitment to creating a culture of innovation at our
National Labs.

I-Corps is a powerful program that inspires lab employees to embrace an entrepreneurial mindset and apply it to everyday lab activities. Whether one is developing a new invention, writing a grant proposal, planning a startup, optimizing an administrative process or pursuing a promotion, the I-Corps Program has valuable insights for any and all members of the Lab community. It is not only for startups!
