You don't need a patentable idea to get in touch. We can help you validate your idea, build a prototype, develop a pitch, and find funding. We are an enterprise-wide asset available to all members of the OU community, and we have united many formerly disparate units under the Tom Love Innovation Hub umbrella to help make it easier for you to find and use those. We believe it is our job to support you as you navigate a complex and rapidly evolving innovation ecosystem at OU and in Oklahoma. We can identify and help you to access resources at OU, whether they are in the Tom Love Innovation Hub or elsewhere in the university, or even outside the university, including accelerators, incubators, and funding sources in the region. If you don't know where to start, just reach out!
Email innovationhub@ou.edu, or better yet, drop in during open office hours. We are in-person at the cafe inside of the Tom Love Innovation Hub (schedule below), and can also accommodate on-line meetings. Parking is available, and you can grab a coffee or a bite at the cafe while you're here. There is plenty of space to stick around and work from your laptop after you visit with us, making it worth the trip!
Open office hours: MONDAYS from 12-1pm (beginning 10/12)
To connect people, ideas, and opportunities across the University of Oklahoma, and beyond, to transform discovery into impact. Through research and ideation, strategic partnerships, technology commercialization, and venture development, we move ideas from concept to implementation, delivering real and lasting solutions for Oklahoma.
A future where every transformative idea at OU has a pathway to impact, powered by a connected innovation community that advances knowledge, creates opportunity, and solves meaningful challenges for society.
The I-Hub is a resource of the OU Office of the Vice President for Research and Partnerships
