Every year, thousands of K–12 students develop inventions aimed at solving real-world problems. Few, however, have the resources, business expertise or financial backing to bring those ideas to market.
Seeking to create a pathway from invention to commercialization, the University of New Haven has recently partnered with the nonprofits FORGE and NextMinds to launch Connecticut Invents, a program designed to help young innovators develop their ideas into viable products and businesses.
Paul Lavoie, vice president of innovation and applied technology at the university, said the partnership was created to address a recurring challenge: Promising student inventions often lack a clear path to market.
