We are committed to a vision of university innovation that connects with the community, advances the economy, and creates prosperity.

Getting from a great idea to real-world impact takes inspiration and expertise, vision and practicality, individual effort and teamwork. U-M has ramped up its resources to assist innovation and promote its place in our mission.

The university encourages faculty innovation and risk-taking, shepherds the tech transfer process, connects would-be entrepreneurs with mentors and venture capital, and provides a culture that recognizes and awards entrepreneurial success. It provides a structure to connect the university and companies to spur transformative research that can change the world.

Our students bring their ideas to fruition in a U-M supported accelerator, inspired by yearly competitions and the energy of their peers. They become the graduates who drive an economy that demands creativity, knowledge and people willing to take risks.

We invite you to join our innovation revolution.
