The Mid-Atlantic I-Corps Hub follows an organizational structure that is critical to informing its governance plan, operating plan, and its outreach, growth, partnerships, and alignment and collaboration within the National Innovation Network. The Hub spans the nation’s capital, as well as four of this country’s premier states in terms of federal research, technology and innovation, education, workforce, and access to capital: Washington, D.C., Maryland, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Virginia. The Hub is deliberately divided into subregions, with one Hub Partner leading each region.
