About the Robert W. Gore Materials Innovation Project

The Robert W. Gore Materials Innovation Project illuminated the diverse contributions of materials innovation within the broader process of technological development in the contemporary age. It documented, analyzed, and made known the immense benefits of materials innovation through its white paper series, Studies in Materials Innovation, and public symposia. The Gore Innovation Project was made possible by the generous financial contribution of Robert W. Gore, chairman of W. L. Gore & Associates.
