Pioneering solutions to wicked problems

What makes I3R different?

I3R is a new kind of public research institute, one with convergence at its core and differentiated by a dual mandate to advance research excellence and impact economic development. Most research institutions focus on discovery and development. Some venture into delivery. Our goal is deployment of innovations at scale through partnerships with industry, community and philanthropic organizations while educating and empowering a diverse and qualified future workforce. This is how we move technology through Technology Readiness Levels 8-9 to ensure positive societal impact.
