Innovation Atlas
The Henry Ford’s Innovation Atlas is an interactive custom mapping tool, or geographic information system (GIS), of the United States that visualizes the education and socioeconomic barriers impacting innovation. This resource helps our innovation learning community identify areas with higher barriers to innovate and develop strategic priorities for funding, outreach, educational engagement and impact.
