Every Opportunity Starts with a Need
At 1819, commercialization means translating University of Cincinnati innovations, expertise and institutional capability into real-world solutions that meet market needs. Every innovation takes a different route. Some are best suited to partner with an established company. Others call for recruiting a venture builder to launch a new one. Assessing the need, determining the pathway and delivering the solution is the work of the Office of Commercialization.
Tell us what you need, and we'll find the right partner, solution and path to impact.
