What are the opportunities with the private sector?
This investment unleashes a tremendous opportunity to work even more closely with the private sector. It will help the U-M research community build upon the momentum we’ve developed during the past decade in working with industry to commercialize innovations, and to be even more competitive with other nationally prominent research universities for federal, foundation and philanthropic funding. It sends a powerful signal to the business community about our desire for partnerships and collaborative research that can translate laboratory findings into practical uses.
