Brian Gwin on 13 Mar 13A major goal of the Ohio Third Frontier is to build strong commercialization and innovation capabilities and capacities in defined technology areas within the state's colleges and universities and nonprofit research organizations that support the needs of Ohio industry. The Innovation Platform Program (IPP) provides support for operating and capital equipment needs that will benefit an entrepreneurial and commercial purpose. The IPP links the research capabilities/capacities of an already established technology platform and all its resources at an Ohio university or college or nonprofit research institution to specific late-stage research, product development, and innovation needs of Ohio for-profit companies. Collaborations are formed to further the near-term commercialization of specific or platform technologies with significant, defined market opportunities.
