Home > 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.
Our research is broadly categorized into four primary potential mapping areas ready for commercialization:
Offering faculty expertise and cutting-edge facilities to the external world.
Tangible or deployable innovations resulting from research.
Curated, high-value information.
Revenue generation from disseminating scholarly work.
We support every innovation pathway through four distinct models.
Focus: High-value, protectable IP
Typical Output:Licensing, Spinout Company.
Focus: Quick-to-market products/services with moderate IP
Typical Output:Direct Sale of Product/Service.
Focus: Collaborative, externally funded innovation with shared outcomes.
Typical Output:Joint Venture, Co-developed IP.
