Igniting Innovation in NJ



Who We Are

New Jersey Innovation Institute (NJII) was founded in 2014 and combines the vast resources of the R1 level New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT), strong industry and government relationships, and proven methods to drive innovation and deliver transformative products and services.

Our Vision

The NJII North Star is to double in size by exceeding $70M in revenue by 2030. This will be accomplished by diversifying revenue streams, launching new divisions and programs, building additional for-profit companies and partnering closely with NJIT.

Our Mission

We are passionate about addressing a fundamental challenge with research universities which is that it is challenging for industry and governmental organizations to leverage the vast resources of these universities. NJII is designed to be the conduit between NJIT and the outside world while providing a significant economic impact for New Jersey. As a standalone corporation, NJII is uniquely positioned to accelerate technology translation, foster innovation and upskill workers by being able to move quickly and be nimble while leveraging the resources of NJIT.

How We Operate

As an independent corporation, NJII is uniquely positioned to be agile, entrepreneurial and opportunistic. NJII is focused on accelerating technology and fostering innovation in order to have a positive economic impact in New Jersey. We are currently organized into four cutting edge divisions that guide our initiatives: Healthcare, Entrepreneurship, Defense, and Professional and Corporate Education.  Focused on results, NJII has generated over $330M in revenue during its ten years of operation and today has a team of 120 staff.  Learn more about career opportunities here.

VentureLink is more than just an office building for my company. It's our connection to the rich pool of student talent at NJIT, and a hub of networking with both budding and seasoned entrepreneurs. Plus, the coffee machine makes hot chocolate with milk!

When we have different groups of experts cross collaborating and sharing ideas and taking those and running with them what we end up with is a powerful example of one of those situations where the sum of all the pieces is far better than the individual parts.

Folks are beginning to understand the value of having their health information available to any doctor who needs to see them, without resorting to outdated methods like paper mail and fax. Interoperability and data integration-including the NJHIN-are the ways that New Jersey will get there.
