The Tech Hub Resources & Innovation Vouchers for Enterprises (NY THRIVE) program supports businesses in commercializing new technologies by offering innovation vouchers. These vouchers can be used to access advanced facilities, specialized equipment, maker spaces, and research assistance provided by participating universities, nonprofit organizations, and companies across the region. NY THRIVE is a key initiative of the NY SMART I-Corridor’s Commercialization & Collaboration Center (C3), which drives semiconductor innovation.
