Thanks to our researchers across campus, the University of Utah has become a hub for innovation and discovery in the West. The Technology Licensing Office has tapped U researchers and staff to serve as Innovation Ambassadors to their colleagues. These ambassadors are liaisons between our office, university departments and researchers across campus.
