Ohio Third Frontier | Wright Centers of Innovation
» Program Descriptions
The goal of the Wright Centers of Innovation (WCI) Program is to support large-scale, world-class research and technology development platforms designed to accelerate the pace of Ohio commercialization. Wright Centers are to be collaborations among Ohio higher education institutions, nonprofit research organizations, and Ohio companies. The specific technology/research focus areas of WCIs represent areas of competitive differentiation that are unique and sustainable, making them difficult to imitate and overcome by others. The WCI Program supports the acquisition of major capital assets to establish the center and initial operating funds projects and services offered by a center.
New applications for this program are not being accepted in FY 2010.
