Four NJIT Highlanders are featured in NJBIZ’s Power 100 list for 2024, including President Teik C. Lim.

The others are Luis De La Hoz, who serves on NJIT’s Hispanic Latinx Leadership Council, and two members of the Board of Directors of NJIT’s New Jersey Innovation Institute: Debbie Hart and Michele Siekerka.

In its entry for Lim, the business publication cited the high rank that NJIT achieved from The Wall Street Journal/College Pulse last year: No. 19 in the U.S. — the second highest ranking for a public university.

New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy, New Jersey Innovation Insitute’s Kathy Naasz and startup founder Po Chen sat down with a popular Taiwan-based podcast to talk innovation and global entrepreneurship in New Jersey during the recent East Asia economic mission trip.

Even before he started as president of NJIT’s New Jersey Innovation Institute, Michael Johnson was on campus to introduce himself to his staff and meet with his entrepreneurial peers at the university.

So, clearly this scientist, entrepreneur and business leader is energized by the prospect of leveraging NJIT’s culture of innovation and technology and accelerating efforts to commercialize its most potent research through NJII, a multi-division corporation that bridges the university and the business world.

A little-known R&D facility, operated by NJIT’s New Jersey Innovation Institute with the U.S. Army Picatinny Arsenal for its primary client, is beginning to thrive one year after moving off-campus.

The facility is called COMET — Collaborative Operationalized Manufacturing Engineering and Training — located about 30 miles northwest of NJIT’s Newark campus, close to Picatinny, which is the Army headquarters for conventional weapons development.

New Jersey Innovation Institute (NJII), a corporation of New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT), is pleased to announce the appointment of Dr. Michael Johnson as NJII President. Johnson emerged from a deep and talented pool of candidates and will begin his tenure at NJII on October 10, 2023.

NJBIZ recognized two professors from New Jersey Institute of Technology and a division of the university’s New Jersey Innovation Institute in its latest lists of Healthcare Heroes.

The annual recognition salutes excellence, innovation and individuals who are “making a significant impact on the quality of health care in New Jersey,” NJBIZ noted in a story about this year’s honorees.

The Highlanders were honored in three different categories. Here’s a closer look at each.

New Jersey Innovation Institute (NJII), a leading provider of innovative and transformative services across the state, announced today that the New Jersey Department of Human Services (NJDHS) and New Jersey Health Information Network (NJHIN) have been granted Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) Medicaid Enterprise System (MES) certification. A long-standing facilitator of many statewide healthcare initiatives, NJDHS has been a key partner with NJHIN in driving interoperability across New Jersey and ensuring healthy outcomes for more than 2.2 million Medicaid beneficiaries.

New Jersey Innovation Institute (NJII) has been honored as a “Leader in Digital Technology” by NJBIZ, a leading business journal in New Jersey, for its role in advances in health information technology (HealthIT) used throughout the state.

NJII, an NJIT corporation, is part of the 2023 cohort of awardees in which the publication is recognizing the most impactful companies and individuals “making a difference in the digital space.”

New Jersey Institute of Technology President Teik C. Lim is among three Highlanders on ROI-NJ’s Super 60 Power List of business influencers for 2023.
