Innovation Hub (iHub) Guidelines & Application

Introduction: The California Innovation Hub Initiative

Innovation is what drives economic growth and California leads the nation when it comes
to generating new ideas and new ways of thinking. As the state’s lead economic development agency, GoED is committed to preserving a climate that promotes innovation and entrepreneurship in the face of increasing global competition. This belief
provides the foundation for the California iHub Initiative, designed to promote collaboration, create employment opportunities, shorten the commercialization process and attract funding for technology.

The “i” in iHub represents the words innovation, inspiration, invention, ingenuity, and
investment. iHubs are operated by local collaboratives comprised of government entities,
universities, businesses, venture capitalist networks and economic development
organizations. Specifically they target young, innovative companies that have been in
business for less than eight years in a technology cluster identified by the local consortium. They are anchored by at least one major university or research center/institution, at least one economic development corporation and typically contain assets such as research parks, technology incubators, universities, community colleges, business accelerators and federal laboratories. Certified iHubs are supported by a UC
Institute for Science and Innovation.
