The iBridge Network Furthers Position as Leading Innovation Catalyst for America's Research Institutions
With Addition of Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), 76 Percent of the Top 25 Utilize Vibrant Community to Connect, Collaborate and License Their Work
KANSAS CITY, Mo., Nov. 22, 2010 /PRNewswire/ -- The main objective of the iBridge(SM) Network, a program of the not-for-profit Kauffman Innovation Network, Inc., is to put ideas, access, transparency and outcomes at the forefront of today's innovation agenda. The iBridge Network today announced that the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) has joined the Network. MIT joins other leading research institutions from across America as iBridge members. Presently, four of the top five, seven of the top 10, and 19 of the top 25 research universities in the United States utilize the iBridge Network.
"Without access to the right people, the most appropriate resources and the brightest thinking, ideas and innovations can languish in the laboratory or workshop," said Katie Petersen, manager of the iBridge Network. "We are pleased to not only welcome MIT to our network but also serve as a true innovation partner to all of our members, including many other of today's leading research universities in the United States, and facilitate the transformation of ideas and discoveries into research, products and services."
Those who view this current economic downturn as an opportunity can not only stimulate and revive the economy in the short term, but also unearth breakthroughs that are still being talked about decades from now. With nearly 5,000 members and 114 organizations supplying more than 13,700 innovations, the iBridge Network has become the destination of choice today for university researchers, entrepreneurs and industry looking to share and discover best practices and research across a variety of topic areas and inspire extraordinary innovation.
