Yale Faculty Innovation Awards

Each year faculty across Yale develop new technologies and launch startups addressing global challenges. From improving human health and addressing climate change, to building the future of quantum computing, these companies are poised to change the world. The annual Yale Faculty Innovation Awards are an opportunity to recognize the significant contributions of these faculty investigators who bring these discoveries to market and launch Yale innovation into the world.

“The Yale Faculty Innovation Award makes crystal clear to the entire Yale community that the university appreciates, recognizes and celebrates our faculty launching new startup companies that can change the world.”
