Turn Innovation Into Market Opportunity

Learn how to evaluate tech innovations and market potential with I-Corps.

Have an innovative technology or research idea and want to refine your understanding of the customer, market need, and commercial opportunity? Join the Wyoming SBDC Network as we host the University of Wyoming I-Corps team to learn how the Great Plains I-Corps program can help you explore the commercial potential of your innovation.

During this webinar, the Great Plains team will explain what to expect from the Fall 2026 Regional I-Corps program, who should apply, and what participants will gain from the experience. Learn how customer discovery and the Business Model Canvas can help you better understand customer needs, refine your value proposition, test assumptions, and make more informed commercialization decisions.

I-Corps helps researchers and innovators move beyond assumptions by engaging directly with potential customers and stakeholders, providing valuable insight. Additionally the I-Corps program help SBIR/STTR applicants build a strong commercialization plan.
