Broader & Deeper: FY 2016 Annual Report, Now Available

Last year, we told you how we are connecting people, resources and ideas to build a new kind of commercialization ecosystem.

This year, we have extended that work and have gone broader and deeper.

We have broadened our work. We have grown our commercialization network and reinvigorated how we work with domain experts. We’ve increased our engagement with faculty across the University, collaborating with them to uncover more inventions, create more startups, and license a record number of technologies.

We have deepened our reach. This year, 50 percent of our invention disclosures came from faculty we had not worked with before, and 50 percent resulted from collaborations with previous inventors. We have 20 commercialization partners and 4 mentors-in-residence to help us dig deeper into those technologies. We have a Business Intelligence Unit that’s become a key contributing factor in assessing technologies and compiling useful market research.

We continue to build our presence and our brand throughout the UA and the Arizona ecosystem as a service-oriented, responsive, dynamic, contributing member, bridging the business and academic communities.
