The Kauffman Innovation Network

The not-for-profit Kauffman Innovation Network, Inc., (KIN) was created by the Kauffman Foundation to advance innovations through education about best practices, research, and fellowships.


KIN has several programs, the most established of which is the iBridgeSM Network. By providing access and transparency to university research, the iBridge Network leads to discovery, collaboration, and innovation. Postings on the iBridge Network Web site range from biological cell lines to animal models to computer technologies.

Any browser can visit and search the iBridge Web site, www.iBridgeNetwork.org, which may lead to unexpected advances and next-generation solutions across every field. Increasingly, the site provides opportunities to build relationships on a one-to-one basis or through communities focused on a specific subject matter.

With licensing capabilities and personalized e-mail updates, the iBridge Network is easy to use and an important stop when searching for innovation.
