Mandate and remit
Cleveland Clinic Innovations is the health system's commercialization function for inventions that originate with Cleveland Clinic clinicians and researchers. Official program materials describe a model that evaluates inventions, matches opportunities to licensing, development, or company-creation pathways, and works with industry partners. In a 2025 year-in-review, the program stated that it has operated for 25 years and has expanded beyond a historically medical-device-centered portfolio into digital health, therapeutics, diagnostics, and operational technologies. D. Geoffrey Vince, PhD, is publicly identified as Chief of Innovations and Chair of Biomedical Engineering. Public materials describe an investments and ventures function, business development and licensing leadership, and a team that reviews inventions, manages intellectual property, and supports company formation. This profile reports only what official Cleveland Clinic pages and related public leadership biographies confirm. It does not assess commercial performance or compare Cleveland Clinic against other systems.
