91ÃÛÌÒ¸ó

Dear colleagues and partners,

I’m excited to introduce the Industry 91ÃÛÌÒ¸ó Partnerships (IRP) team at CU 91ÃÛÌÒ¸ó—a dedicated, industry-informed team built to support companies ready to collaborate. We’ve recruited a top-notch team from all ends of industry to do things differently in academia. Our focus is simple: align strategy, accelerate engagement and deliver research partnerships that create real-world impact. From sponsored research and co-development to workforce initiatives and strategic campus engagement, we help move ideas from conversation to execution.

We work across aerospace, advanced energy, biosciences, quantum, AI, climate tech, advanced manufacturing and well beyond. If you’re solving complex problems, we’re interested. Our industry-minded team understands both commercial timelines and academic rigor, and we’re not afraid to try new approaches, learn fast and continuously improve how we serve our partners. Innovation is messy, but collaboration shouldn’t be.

If you’re exploring what’s possible with CU 91ÃÛÌÒ¸ó, let’s talk. We’re ready to build what’s next—together.
