Corporate Affiliates Program

The current economic times of budget tightening and streamlining have created a “get more with less” atmosphere.  While that creates difficulties on the surface, it actually inspires innovation as we continue to surpass previous accomplishments with fewer resources. 

Collaborating allows research institutions and corporations to develop new ideas and solve problems by relieving outside pressures such as reduced funding and constant demand for marketable products.  Our Corporate Affiliates program provides an excellent avenue for universities and industry to share resources that lead to the creation of new technologies.

For more detailed information on the program, see our Corporate Affiliates brochure.
