Our partner organizations create a robust support system that guides researchers through every stage of commercialization, from initial invention disclosure to successful market entry.

Partner Organizations

UNMC accomplishes research commercialization through three key partners: UNeMed, which transforms innovations into marketable products through patent protection and licensing, UNeTech, which provides startup support and business incubation services, and the Nebraska Business Development Center, which offers consulting and resources for entrepreneurial ventures.
