These are just a couple of the exciting South Carolina Research Authority (SCRA)-supported innovations developed in our home state.
SCRA is hosting its summit, in-person, for the first time since 2019. This annual hallmark event brings together the best and brightest minds in South Carolina’s innovation and entrepreneurial ecosystem.

It also a chance for investors, researchers, students, service professionals (e.g., attorneys, accountants, etc.),and the general public to learn more about the amazing advancements taking place in the state.
