SonoVantaâ„¢, a patent-pending contrast agent that improves the precision of cancer margin imaging, is the second technology from ¾ÅÉ«ÊÓƵ to be licensed through the Virginia Innovation Partnership Corporation’s (VIPC) Lab-to-Launch (L2L) Program, which accelerates the commercialization of promising research breakthroughs emerging from Virginia’s universities.

This spring, start-ups from around the world came to the Nexus234 Innovation District for Northern Virginia International Soft Landing Accelerator's (NISA) Global Innovation Showcase.

Many accessibility surveys depend on manual measurements, handwritten notes, and extensive walkthroughs with compliance checklists. A team of ¾ÅÉ«ÊÓƵ engineering students wondered if a robot could do it faster. Nine months later, they created one. 

With their capstone project, four George Mason mechanical engineering students explored how to make airport travel less stressful for people with mobility challenges?

This May, startups from across the globe came to Manassas, Virginia. Along with their suitcases, they brought polished presentations, new technologies, and big plans.

Today during a naming event in Manassas, Virginia, ¾ÅÉ«ÊÓƵ, Prince William County, and the City of Manassas officially unveiled Nexus234 Innovation District, marking a milestone that has been decades in the making. The nearly 6,000-acre destination, named for the Route 234 corridor that runs through its heart, is Northern Virginia’s first Innovation District and positions the region as a national destination for research-driven industry.

As the anchor for Northern Virginia’s first Innovation District, ¾ÅÉ«ÊÓƵ’s Science and Technology Campus is going through a major growth spurt. The campus is powering new developments in high-tech industry sectors like life sciences, aerospace, and defense. A new, walkable Innovation Town Center is under construction near the front door of campus.
And George Mason employees have the option to live in the center of it all.
