The newly completed expansion reflects the needs and appreciation of Dayton’s small business community, which quickly made use of the resources and connectivity provided by WBI and the Air Force Research Laboratory when the facility first opened. The new layout has more rooms for small and large group collaborations, expanded open areas conducive to WBI Collider events and dedicated space for technology sprints and small business teams pursuing and developing Air Force Small Business Innovation Research program awards.
Wright Brothers Institute is a cutting-edge innovation and technology commercialization center for the Air Force Research Laboratory, with facilities located just outside of Wright-Patterson Air Force Base. The institute drives fast, agile innovation that enables successful technology development to solve the Air Force’s most complex challenges by leveraging resident experts, unique facilities, disruptive innovation processes and extensive networks.
The institute leverages subject matter experts and intellectual property from AFRL and SBIR companies to unlock the right problem, connect to new partners and synchronize transition pathways through commercialization partners.
