These innovation concierges will assist local businesses in accessing physical (e.g., equipment, facilities, labs) and intellectual assets (e.g., research and development expertise) across the I-Corridor.

    Key Responsibilities Include:


    • Develop and maintain a list of semiconductor-relevant facilities (e.g., cleanrooms, prototyping equipment, labs, etc.) and innovation expertise (e.g., research groups, academics, patents, etc.) across the I-Corridor.

    • Serve as a "front door" point of contact for semiconductor-relevant businesses to utilize university assets as well as connect with other colleges, universities, and other research and development assets across the Tech Hub and in the region. This position will facilitate connections between businesses and university resources which include research groups, labs, and equipment.

    • Administer an innovation voucher program for semiconductor-relevant businesses to broaden access to facilities for development, prototyping and testing of semiconductor technologies. Assist businesses in navigating and utilizing C3 facilities for the development, prototyping, and testing of semiconductor technologies.

    • Develop programming that will inform a common innovation agenda, knowledge sharing (e.g., periodical whitepapers, funding opportunities), and track the utilization of Tech Hub facilities and the impact of innovation vouchers on business development.
