About Kentucky Commercialization Ventures

KCV's commercialization program is a dedicated resource for faculty, staff, and students at partner universities and colleges that moves great ideas and research to products on the market for public benefit.

 

The Kentucky Science and Technology Corporation (KSTC) has partnered with the Kentucky Cabinet for Economic Development, the Kentucky Council on Postsecondary Education, the University of Kentucky, and the University of Louisville to lead the development of this statewide collaboration. The KCV initiative is a proud recipient of the 2021 Lab to Market Inclusive Innovation Ecosystems award from the U.S. Small Business Administration.

 

Participating institutions in this initiative include:

You Belong Here.

Diversity, equity, and inclusion are essential to the future competitiveness and success of American innovation, and these values are central to KCV’s innovation growth strategy. Ideas from Kentucky will change and improve lives. We partner with Kentucky’s higher education institutions to create inclusive and equitable environments where every great idea can succeed with the appreciation of the various people, cultures, and communities that inspired it. Join us in making innovation a place for all Kentuckians to build, thrive, and impact.

Bridging the gap between research and commercialization.

We bring guidance, opportunities, and programs to higher education institutions across the state without dedicated tech transfer resources, turning their research into products, services, startups, and investments supported by intellectual property.
