项目摘要

With this award, the University of Central Florida develops an I-Corps Site to enhance technology commercialization to develop a world-class innovation ecosystem. The goal of the UCF I-Corps Sites program is to enhance the transition of UCF research into the marketplace, and to increase the number of I-Corps teams, ventures, and spin-off companies.The UCF I-Corps Sites program will enable the university to expand its entrepreneurship offerings to reach additional prospective and under-represented participants, and to realign its entrepreneurship programming across campus in order to create a steady supply of entrepreneurial teams. The UCF I-Corps Sites program will provide entrepreneurial services to approximately 32 teams per year and consist of the following elements: (1) Recruiting technology entrepreneurial teams across UCF campus with special efforts to recruit women, underrepresented minorities, and graduate students. (2) Implementation of the Business Model Canvas workshop as a prerequisite for the program.Direct team support will be coordinated by the existing UCF Venture Accelerator for activities such as: acquisition of fabrication materials and work at two prototyping labs; travel expenses; entrepreneurial training; booth at the "Innovation Concourse of the Southeast"; market research, ombudsman assistance, business planning, SBRI assistance, coaching network, investment capital assistance, and shared office space.Broader ImpactsThe University of Central Florida I-Corps Sites program will serve to enhance and strengthen Central Florida's growing innovation ecosystem, contributing towards the development of a stronger national ecosystem. UCF is an active leader and an engaged partner in the Central Florida innovation ecosystem and cultivates new and nurtures existing partnerships that bring together businesses, academia, research centers, and communities to jointly deliver societal benefits such as high-value job creation, and economic growth for the region.

有了这个奖项，中央佛罗里达大学开发了一个I-Corps网站，以加强技术商业化，发展世界级的创新生态系统。UCF I-Corps网站计划的目标是加强UCF研究向市场的过渡，并增加I-Corps团队，企业和分拆公司的数量。UCF I-Corps网站计划将使大学能够扩大其创业产品，以达到更多的潜在和代表性不足的参与者，并在校园内重新调整其创业计划，以创造稳定的创业团队供应。UCF I-Corps Sites计划每年将为大约32个团队提供创业服务，包括以下内容：（1）在UCF校园内招募技术创业团队，特别努力招募女性，代表性不足的少数民族和研究生。(2)作为该计划的先决条件，实施商业模式画布研讨会。现有的UCF创业加速器将协调直接的团队支持活动，例如：在两个原型实验室购买制造材料和工作;差旅费;创业培训;在“东南创新广场”的展位;市场研究、监察员协助、业务规划、SBRI协助、教练网络、投资资本协助，和共享办公空间。更广泛的影响中央佛罗里达大学我-兵团网站计划将有助于提高和加强中央佛罗里达的不断增长的创新生态系统，促进发展一个更强大的国家生态系统。UCF是佛罗里达中部创新生态系统的积极领导者和参与合作伙伴，并培养新的和培育现有的合作伙伴关系，将企业，学术界，研究中心和社区聚集在一起，共同提供社会效益，如创造高价值的就业机会和该地区的经济增长。
