University spaces offer companies unique partnership opportunities.
Innovative businesses looking to jumpstart their R&D efforts will find leading-edge equipment, labs, collaboration space, and digital infrastructure among the University’s physical footprint.
Businesses can access the vast resources of a top-tier public research institution through place-based collaboration. On and around our statewide campuses companies find a braintrust of expertise in wide-ranging disciplines, as well as the energy of tens of thousands of students with a bold vision for tomorrow.
Ways to engage:
- Co-locate to campus
- Specialized facility and equipment sharing
- Real estate development
- Commercial tenancy
- Partner in the planned Minnesota Innovation Exchange, the region's next hub of research and discovery
"Our partnership today is rooted in our history with the University. Our founder went to the University and created the whole industry for cardiac rhythm. The first pacemaker was developed there. History matters because relationships matter because proximity matters."
“We are truly intrigued by the vision [of TheMix]. The location and the design concept are highly conducive to a next level of engagement between academia, young ventures and corporates and will create a vibrant new ecosystem. Honeywell is very much looking forward to future discussions on how we can be part of this exciting opportunity.”
