Innovation Partnership

ABOUT

Innovation Partnership (IPart) is a consortium of economic development, business assistance, and higher education organizations located throughout Pennsylvania.

Our goal: to help early-stage technology companies win federal funding opportunities to commercialize their innovations.

Federal SBIR and STTR programs have more than $2 billion in funding offered by 11 different agencies but navigating the submission processes can be overwhelming—and costly—for a small business.

IPart helps Pennsylvania-based small businesses get through the pre-proposal and proposal stage with expertise, microfunding and support so they can land the funding they need to grow and commercialize their technology-focused innovations.
