The Global Cardiovascular Innovation Center (GCIC) is an incubator facility launched by Cleveland Clinic in 2007 as part of the Cleveland Clinic Innovations. It was the first Wright Mega-Center of Innovation and aims to bridge the gap between research and commercialization of cardiovascular technologies. The center provides dedicated space for start-ups developing innovative cardiovascular medical products, diagnostics, and therapies. GCIC is strategically located on Cleveland Clinic’s main campus and serves as a hub for both local and international research-driven start-ups.
