Research Commercialization and Innovation Ecosystem

At Superior University, we believe that world-class research must lead to real-world impact. Research Commercialization is the strategic process of transforming university-generated Knowledge, Intellectual Property (IP), and Expertise into societal benefits and economic value, through the development of products, services, and new ventures.

Our ecosystem is designed to nurture innovation from a promising concept to a market-ready solution, generating revenue for the University, faculty, and the nation.
