Welcome to IPDC - A Community-based Commercialization Center
The Santa Fe College Innovative Product Development Center (IPDC) was a community-based product commercialization center that helped startup companies, entrepreneurs and innovators develop their products, start their businesses and grow into financially viable enterprises for free.
The IPDC worked with a network of community partners who provided support to startup companies ranging from legal, education, intellectual property development, commercial feasibility assessments, patent licensing assistance, access to prototyping and viability testing, business development, access to grants and investments and much more.
The Center closed as of June 30. However, the majority of the services will continue under the Center for Innovation and Economic Development (CIED) Incubator. For more information, call 352-395-5053.
