Connect with Faculty and Business

We connect entrepreneurial faculty within our college and university network with private sector business partners to help drive commercialization. (That means businesses have access to the expertise of 3000 faculty members!) Projects cover market research, product testing, materials packaging, software development, product development and much more.

Savvy companies of all sizes are working with ITN faculty and students to:

• speed new product development
• refine existing products
• enhance product testing
• assist in prototype development
• provide due diligence (research) for potential market expansion

Industry expertise varies by project, however, here are a few common examples:

• information technology
• manufacturing
• energy
• biodiesel
• agriculture
• healthcare/medical
