The Southeast Regional Outreach Office serves Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Arkansas, and Tennessee.

Our goal is to promote innovation and stimulate the economy by connecting entrepreneurs to government resources, supporting students and teachers through our STEM education programs, gathering feedback from regional stakeholders, educating the public about intellectual property, and recruiting diverse talent from the region. Browse the content below.

New: Regional outreach office realignment
The creation of the Southeast Regional Outreach Office is part of the Unleashing American Innovators Act of 2022, which was signed into law in December 2022. With the launch of our Southeast Office, some states may now fall under a different regional outreach office. See below or visit our location map for more information.
