American Councils for International Education announces the opening of the Fall 2014 application for the US-Russia Innovation Corridor (USRIC). University-based startups and entrepreneurs are encouraged to apply until November 9.
The US-Russia Innovation Corridor (USRIC) deploys services and resources to advance research and commercialization collaborations with the potential to accelerate success in business. USRIC helps startups quickly access and use information, resources, and networks that can advance the growth of their business.
Participants may work either virtually (phone, Skype, email) or physically at the Maryland International Incubator (MI2) in the Washington, DC area. The program seeks projects with high innovation potential for commercialization at both the early and advanced stages.
USRIC applicants are selected on their ability to present: a clear business idea or area of research; defined area for market entry/expansion; willingness to take advantage of USRIC services; potential to benefit US-Russia relations; relevance to advancing university and/or entrepreneurship in Russia; amplification effect to disseminate knowledge following the residency period.
To learn more, download the questionnaire, or apply directly here during the open application period. For more information, write to [email protected].
USRIC is supported by the US-Russia Foundation as part of the Enhancing University Research and Entrepreneurial capacity (EURECA) program.
