New Jersey Equity in Commercialization Collective (NJECC)

NJECC is an NSF ADVANCE partnership program that was created to address the significant equity issues in academic technology commercialization and eliminate systemic barriers that inventors face. We also aim to increase the diversity of STEM faculty researchers who participate in New Jersey's entrepreneurship and innovation ecosystem. NJECC partners with universities and organizations throughout New Jersey as part of this systemic change initiative. Our team is comprised of professionals with diverse backgrounds in research and development, technology commercialization, and entrepreneurship, who also hold strong commitments to fostering diversity and inclusion.
