The University seeks opportunities to integrate technology commercialization initiatives at the University with those occurring in the broader community. Through partnerships with regional economic developers, the private sector, technology-based service organizations and business/entrepreneurial development centers, the University finds support in transitioning its academic research into the public realm.
These alliances offer far-reaching benefits for both the University and the greater community, including additional funding to support innovative thinking, cross-pollinization of ideas, opportunities for faculty consultancies and student internships, increased and expanded dissemination of cutting-edge research, and the creation of new business opportunities in the regional economy. |
