TAP INNOVATION DEVELOPMENT (InDev) PROGRAM
Advancing innovation and economic growth across Indiana by connecting organizations with Purdue University faculty, graduate students and subject matter experts to provide tailored technical assistance and development solutions.
YOUR CONNECTION TO PURDUE'S EXPERTISE
TAP InDev is designed to help you connect quickly to the right Purdue resources and turn that connection into progress. We start by engaging with your organization to understand what you need and who can help.
We empower your team by aligning Purdue expertise to your goals and focusing on practical, workable solutions. We aim to exceed expectations by supporting collaboration and setting you up for sustainable growth.
Even when TAP InDev cannot directly provide the assistance you need, we will help identify and connect you with other resources at Purdue so you still have a clear next step.
