University of Nebraska-Lincoln is joining Innosphere Ventures’ ecosystem, after Oklahoma State University did the same earlier this month.
NUtech Ventures, the tech transfer office of University of Nebraska-Lincoln, has partnered Innosphere Ventures for its University Partner Program.
The deal will give NUtech access to Innosphere’s network of corporate partners and business resources. The university is the latest to be added to Innosphere’s roster, which includes several institutions across Colorado but also further afield, such as Oklahoma State University.
Brad Roth, executive director of NUtech Ventures, said: “University of Nebraska–Lincoln faculty are launching startup companies to bring their innovations to the marketplace, and we are excited to partner with Innosphere Ventures to provide additional support services.
“This support is tailored for faculty founders, who are addressing the unique challenges and opportunities associated with early-stage technologies.”
Mike Freeman, chief executive of Innosphere Ventures, said: “We are ready to start working with UNL faculty and licensing managers who are developing and commercialising cutting-edge research.
“NUtech has a great mission of promoting economic development and improving quality of life. They are a great partner for Innosphere because they share our same goal of transferring technologies from the lab to the marketplace, with broad, real-world impact.”
