About
The Business Innovation Factory (BIF) focuses on solving major problems in areas like healthcare, education and energy independence by creating a place where partners can design and test new solutions in a real-world environment.
An independent, non-profit organization created in 2004, BIF brings partners together to collaborate across traditional boundaries on experiments that deliver transformative, systems-level innovation and address the most pressing problems of our time.
Through its programs, events and projects, BIF has created a national network of innovators who are passionate about radically rethinking how value is delivered across the public and private sectors. Learn more

"Piecemeal remedies do have their place, but if that’s all you’re doing, it’s not going to get you to a brave new world. To create robust and systemic solutions, you have to have experimentation and investigation to the level that BIF is providing." –John Kao, BIF Research Advisor.
