Catalyzing Innovation

With over $730 million in research activity in the last year, the University of Arizona, a Research 1 university, is making giant strides towards catalyzing innovation and moving research to global impact. This is done through the commercialization of new technologies, launching startup businesses and creating corporate collaborations with an inside-out, outside-in approach and a robust entrepreneurial ecosystem. This illustration showcases key elements (highlighted in the yellow) uniting on the innovation stage. Here researchers and entrepreneurs are surrounded by university support networks providing the foundation to move invention into the marketplace. Startups are equipped to scale rapidly and thus are prepared to make a local and global impact. Benefits abound between corporations and the university. This collaboration provides engagement opportunities via talent, resources and facilities that solve industry challenges with unique innovations.
