About InnovateOhio, IP Promise and PITCH X
Born from the knowledge that we have world-changing discoveries every year that originate in universities but need help moving from lab to market, Ohio’s I.P. Promise was launched by Lt. Governor Jon Husted as an extension of InnovateOhio in fall 2019. A total of 16 Ohio universities agreed to work together to make technology commercialization faster, easier and more impactful.

PITCH X: From Lab to Market is a series of talks from university entrepreneurs discussing technologies ready to make a difference in the world through commercialization. By raising awareness for breakthrough technologies developed right here in Ohio, PITCH X is helping connect university research with private sector investment as Ohio grows its innovation economy.
