Members of the business community, Boise State faculty, media representatives and other interested parties gathered recently at the Stueckle Sky Center for an unprecedented look inside the university’s intellectual property portfolio and related technology transfer opportunities.
The first-ever “Research Revealed,” presented by the Division of Research and Economic Development’s Office of University and Industry Ventures, drew a crowd of approximately 175. The event included a welcome address by Vice President for Research Mark Rudin, comments by Executive-in-Residence Ed Zimmer and OTT Advisory Committee member Ward Parkinson, short presentations featuring faculty with patents issued or pending for their discoveries and inventions, and an opportunity for networking and poster displays in the following sectors:
- Biotechnology
- Consumer and Industrial Electronics
- Equipment Manufacturing
- Environmental Engineering, Monitoring and Remediation
- Green Products and Renewable Energy
- Health and Medical Devices
- Mining
- Transportation
“We were pleased with both the turnout for our first ‘Research Revealed’ and for the interest and enthusiasm shown by those who attended,” said Rudin. “It is our hope that events such as this one will help raise awareness about opportunities for partnerships with the university, and also will serve to strengthen ties between the Treasure Valley and Boise State.”
