The Exploring Innovation Frontiers Initiative (EIFI) is a national, public-private effort to accelerate the over-the-horizon, transformative innovation models that will drive U.S. competitiveness in the coming decades.
Sponsored by NSF Directorate of Engineering, Office of Emerging Frontiers of Research and Innovation (EFRI) – EIFI is a qualitative analysis that will collect, synthesize and disseminate broadly the experiential knowledge of active innovation practitioners. This information will be used to provide academicians with direction for future research in innovation, business leaders and strategists with insights to inform future business models, and policymakers with knowledge to enact public policies that create a supportive environment for sustained innovation-driven growth.
