The Virginia Tech Innovation and Partnerships office is a catalyst for collaborative relationships. Our team is driven by a simple, yet powerful charge—to assemble around big ideas and problems that matter. And we meet this aim alongside our exemplary faculty and world-class partners, both of whom are driven by a similar ethos. Our office facilitates all aspects of corporate and foundation partnerships—from research collaborations, to commercializing ideas and discoveries, to bolstering alumni in the workplace—we are obsessed with turning What-if into What’s Next. We are proud to represent the state of Virginia as the premier research institute of the commonwealth. Our ambitious projects and aspirations come to life through our three integral centers: LINK, LICENSE, and LAUNCH. These complementary centers help companies spur growth, deepen their talent pool, and bring big ideas to life. Fundamentally, the Innovation and Partnerships office activates alumni relationships, nurtures partnerships, secures investment opportunities, and ensures that discoveries made at the university deliver economic and human impact.
