About CyberI
Iowa State University established the
CyberInnovation Institute (CyberI) to
strengthen ISU’s research in
information sciences and information
technologies. CyberI now serves as a unifying
home for ISU’s IT-related research
centers, enabling new and larger IT-research
projects and providing a unique platform to
pioneer new ways for universities to work
with industrial partners to enhance
competitiveness, spawn more startups, and
foster strong IT-based economic growth.
The CyberInnovation Institute provides a
range of services for university researchers,
industry leaders, and entrepreneurs. These
services include educational resources and
facilities that offer the following
advantages.

equipment, and services) to increase IT
research and its commercialization. CyberI
is headquartered on the Iowa State
University campus in Howe Hall, part of
ISU’s Engineering
Teaching and Research Complex. In
addition, CyberI has 17,250 square feet of
prime office space at 2321 North Loop

about two miles from the ISU campus. Both
facilities are high performance computing
facilities with high speed, high bandwidth

Through its shared resources and
infrastructure, CyberI works to bring people
together to solve problems, applying
knowledge gained from research to specific
industry based problems, translating applied
research results into commercially viable IT
products and services.
