    Luke Doster speaks in February at the Spark the Springs event, which celebrates the award of $50,000 Torch Grants.

    The El Pomar Institute for Innovation & Commercialization (EPIIC) is in the midst of its first major remake in 17 years with a new endowed chair, who is its acting director, and several new programs targeted at entrepreneurs.

    Started under a different name in 1991 with grants from the El Pomar Foundation and the University of Colorado, the organization has, throughout its history, been focused on helping local entrepreneurs and students at the University of Colorado Colorado Springs turn their innovative business ideas into economic opportunities. The grants also funded endowed chairs at UCCS that form the core of EPIIC’s staff.
