This paper discusses the activities and initial impacts of the Space Coast Innovation and Technology Commercialization (SCITC) Partnership. This is a synergistic partnership between Florida Tech, the Technological Research and Development Authority (TRDA) of the state of Florida, the NASA Office of Technology Commercialization at KSC, the Space Applications Technology Outreach Program (SATOP), The Florida/NASA Business Incubation Center (FNBIC) and other local partners (EDOs, SBDCs, incubators, other universities/colleges, private and public organizations, local high tech companies, etc). Its purpose is to facilitate space technology transfer/commercialization and technical entrepreneurship and to create high-tech start-ups to build a strong innovation-based local economy on the Space Coast. This multi-disciplinary, multi-college, industry/government research partnership provides innovative, multi-faceted education programming and networking / support activities to stimulate engineering entrepreneurship and technology transfer. The anticipated broader impacts of this partnership are transferable initiatives to develop sustainable core infrastructure in the areas of entrepreneurship education and technology transfer, catalyzing and improving innovation, technology commercialization and entrepreneurial processes.
