INDUSTRY-SPONSORED RESEARCH
Research funding by industrial partners to advance mutual goals.
These partnerships help both sides develop their ideas and early-stage technologies, while adding them value. For more information regarding industry-sponsored research, please contact your Associated Business Development Managers:
Companies that become business partners through financing research interests can gain direct access to world-class inventions that may become marketable products. The scope of this funding ranges from tens to hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Bringing industry-sponsored research funding to your lab has a two-fold purpose:
- Creates opportunities for expanding your research by accessing funding and other resources available through industry partners.
- Advances your research to enhance the probability of successful partnering, development, and commercial impact.
