Cleveland Clinic Expands Innovation Center

Earlier this month, CCF Innovations, the technology transfer and commercialization arm of the Cleveland Clinic, celebrated the dedication of the new wing of the Cleveland Clinic Innovation Center. The newly expanded facility now houses the operations of CCF Innovations, as well as start-up and early-stage life sciences companies.

The Innovation Center is a 20,000-sq-ft facility featuring eight laboratories, 25 offices, and three conference rooms. The center provides CCF equity partners and spin-off companies with laboratory and office space, as well as access to CCF's core facilities and top staff.

The facility houses about 50 individuals and up to six companies. According to CCF, companies typically stay in the facility for 24 months and then locate into space adjacent to the CCF campus.
