Henry Ford + MSU
Innovation Hub

How do we elevate the health of our community and transform the patient experience? The Henry Ford + MSU Innovation Hub serves as the premier destination for inventors and partners who also seek answers to that question.

The Innovation Hub brings together the strengths of Henry Ford Innovations and the Michigan State University Research Foundation to drive technology solutions for health care’s most persistent problems by:

• Harnessing our clinical expertise to guide innovators as they translate ideas to impact
• Launching and scaling high-potential startups through venture creation, investment and entrepreneurial support
• Developing public-private partnerships to accelerate market adoption
• Cultivating talent and infrastructure to grow Michigan’s life science and innovation economy

From clinical breakthroughs to high-touch discoveries that positively impact the communities we serve, we support solutions that disrupt conventional approaches. We invest in and partner with companies that allow us to deliver superior clinical outcomes, place patients at the center of care, and promote health care access.

Our combined expertise narrows the traditional gap between academic innovation and clinical implementation that has historically slowed health care advancement. We provide clinical validation pathways in real health care settings, market access opportunities through our established provider and payer networks, and accelerate processes to rapidly implement novel technologies.

We’re committed to strategic partnerships that revolutionize care delivery, widen health care access, and enhance experiences for both patients and health care professionals. We welcome visionary partners who share our dedication to building a resilient, efficient health care environment that serves our patients and strengthens communities.
