Greater Binghamton SCORE Participates In Innovation Discovery Event at Griffiss Institute

  Gr eater Binghamton SCORE counselor Dave Burch recently provided expertise in support of Griffiss Institute's (GI) Innovation Discovery Event at their facility in Rome, New York supporting the Air Force Research Laboratory Information Directorate's (AFRL/RI) Technology Transfer mission. This all day event consisted of three 90-minute sessions in which AFRL Information Directorate scientists/engineers gave presentations on the technologies that they are developing for military use to a panel of individuals with strong technical or business backgrounds. After the presentations, the panel brainstormed the technologies looking for opportunities for commercialization and explored the feasibility of developing patent applications for the  novel Intellectual Properties (IP) contained within the technology presentation.

SCORE helps you succeed!
Check out one of our latest success stories.
 
Patrick Mateer saw a two-fold problem at farmers markets. Farmers weren't selling all their available food and people who wanted to buy their produce couldn't always make it out.

To tackle the problem, he started Seal the Seasons. He's working with local farms to freeze fresh food which allows them to sell to local grocers and schools year-round. He now plans to scale across the country. SCORE mentors have helped him along the way.
