Company Description

Wright Brothers Institute was a Dayton, Ohio–based nonprofit innovation and collaboration hub established in 2002 to accelerate research, development, and technology commercialization for the U.S. Air Force and the broader aerospace and defense community. For more than two decades, it served as a bridge between government, industry, academia, and small businesses—helping solve complex challenges through rapid prototyping, cross‑sector teaming, and expansive networks of experts. Its work strengthened the region’s reputation as a center for innovation and contributed to hundreds of projects rooted in advanced technology and workforce development. While the institute has recently suspended operations after fulfilling its founding mission, its impact on regional innovation partnerships and technology advancement remains a significant part of the Dayton ecosystem.
