We need all the universities in the US to do their part and make sure all your research is made transparent and accessible!

The USA National Innovation Marketplace is a service of the Manufacturing Extension Partnership (MEP) a national network with hundreds of specialists who understand the needs of small and medium-size manufacturers. They have worked with thousands of manufacturers delivering $1.44 billion in cost savings annually and $10.5 billion in increased or retained sales in year one.

The Marketplace accelerates innovation by facilitating communication between buyers and sellers of innovation, giving inventors access to investors, distributors, contract manufacturers and R&D experts. Marketplace listings from non-profit organizations will coexist on the iBridge Network, allowing for even more exposure and collaboration opportunities. “There is a natural synergy between the USA National Innovation Marketplace and the iBridge Network,” said Lesa Mitchell, director of the iBridge Network. “We both are working to drive research to the marketplace and we are thrilled to be able to achieve that goal together.”
