To innovate is to translate knowledge and ideas into economic growth and social well being. The University of Illinois is a leader in conducting groundbreaking research that forms the foundation for meaningful innovation. Our discoveries have led to products and services that have a profound impact on human lives.
The University has embraced its role as an engine of innovation by incorporating economic development as a cornerstone in our mission of teaching, research and public service. One of the results has been the creation of a system of resources to work with both the campus community and corporate partners to facilitate the protection and transfer of intellectual property.
This web portal is an entryway to the University’s commercialization services and to the many opportunities for our community and external partners to engage with us.
