The Academic Health Center needs partners in industry to move discoveries from the lab to the marketplace.

This ensures the vitality of our state's biomedical science industry.

As Minnesota’s business community knows, the state’s economy and workforce depend on the success of the University’s research and education missions.

The contribution of our faculty and research to the economy is significant. According to the National Institutes of Health, $1 of research funding multiplies to more than $2 in the economy—through purchasing supplies, hiring staff, and other research expenses.

By partnering with the business community, we discover and deliver new devices, therapies, and medications that help keep Minnesota’s people—and its economy—healthy.
