Overview
In August 2025, NobleReach and NSF began a partnership on a pilot to identify and advance promising research and develop associated talent pipelines, with a focus on specific regions of the country. Over the next two years our team will engage two NSF Innovation I-Corps™ (NSF I-Corps) Hubs around four pillars: commercialization assistance, local capability building, talent network development and capital catalyzation. Through this work, we anticipate 12 to 20 research projects relevant to national security will be shepherded through milestone-based development plans, yielding replicable frameworks and artificial intelligence-enabled assets that can be extended across the lab-to-market ecosystem.
