Two researchers examine a small experimental device on a laboratory workbench. One researcher in a white lab coat gestures toward the instrument while the other points to a component. Wires extend from the device, which is mounted on a stand among lab equipment and materials. Whiteboards and shelving with additional research tools are visible in the background.

Commercialization and Entrepreneurship

Innovation creates the greatest impact when it reaches the people and industries it was designed to serve. Your support helps SRI strengthen the connections among researchers, entrepreneurs, investors, and industry partners that accelerate technology commercialization, grow new ventures, and expand Georgia's space economy.
