University-wide Navigation

You don't have to navigate industry relationships alone. The Office of Business Engagement exists to serve faculty just as much as it serves business, connecting you with the right partner and assisting as needed through the life of the collaboration.

Ways to Collaborate With Industry:

Sponsored & collaborative research

Work alongside industry teams on real problems in your field, bringing fresh questions into your lab and your research into the field where it's tested.

Open your lab or facility to industry

Put your equipment and expertise to work beyond campus, collaborating with industry teams who need what you've built.

Find the right industry partner

We identify and introduce you to companies aligned with your research, so the first conversation is already the right one.

Deliver custom training & workshops

Share your expertise directly with industry teams through paid professional development programs.

Raise your profile

Speaking engagements, industry advisory boards, and media opportunities that put your work — and your name — in front of the people building on it.

Build lasting industry relationships

Turn a single project into an ongoing partnership — the kind that grows into named chairs, sustained programs, and long-term collaboration over time.

Not sure where to start?

Our team will help you find the right industry connection, and manage the relationship from first conversation to signed agreement.
