A new hub for innovation
The Pava Marie LaPere Center for Entrepreneurship empowers and equips Johns Hopkins students, alumni, and community changemakers to build impactful, sustainable ventures.
We develop, explore, and nurture ideas. We host biomedical engineering design showcases and business plan competitions. We hack.
And, through a combination of smarts and stick-to-itiveness, we bring innovations to the world.
Our Office of Technology Ventures helps Hopkins faculty and students turn their discoveries and inventions into successful enterprises, like new cancer treatments, mobile health platforms, and a device to detect and prevent blindness caused by diabetes.
We’ve launched innovation hubs, invested in an incubators and accelerator programs, and created an entrepreneurship boot camp. In fiscal year 2019, we executed 116 new license and option agreements to commercialize technologies, were issued 147 new U.S. patents, and currently have more than 2,000 technologies available across many disciplines.
Whether in science and medicine or business and social enterprises, our students and faculty are developing new techniques, new models, and new products—and working hard to bring them to market.
