Commercialization Analytics Dashboard

Overview

In efforts to become a center for innovation and rapid commercialization, the need arose to identify commercialization candidates at the university that may not previously be in the sights of leaders/division chiefs. The idea is to build a Innovation and Commercialization database to help better identify those candidates and promising technologies and pull together the right group of advisors to help advance that technology.
Data Infrastructure Goal

ICS' Role
