Our Vision is to become nationally recognized as both the vehicle for commercializing research and technology at UTEP and the engine for economic development in the Paso del Norte region.

Our Mission is:

• To develop and execute a plan to stimulate innovation and unify campus initiatives in technology transfer, entrepreneurship and commercialization at the University of El Paso (UTEP).
• To incorporate the commercialization strategy of UTEP to promote innovations and create new businesses and licenses.
• To develop formal relationships with major corporations and other organizations in targeted industries.

Whether you need help identifying funding to explore a new idea, protecting intellectual property, applying for a patent, or creating a business plan, let us help you. Explore the commercialization process with the help of a seasoned professional. Determine if your fundamental research is, or should be, on the commercialization path. Identify collaboration opportunities to leverage the value of research and intellectual property. Benefit from the diverse expertise provided by a supportive commercialization team.
