The Office of Innovation and Corporate Partnerships at the University of Oklahoma exists to support our innovators – be they faculty, students or staff from any OU location – in moving transformative technologies from the lab to the marketplace.  We do this in a variety of ways that focus us on the transfer of technologies via licensing or other means, engaging with industry and business partners in meaningful and productive relationships and in building access to capital and talent.
