Outputs, Expertise and Assets: Facilitating Innovation & Collaboration Through Enhanced Discoverability

University campuses have expensive, specialized equipment and resources such as electron microscopes, 3D printers, and testing facilities which can cost millions in resources and require advanced training. Partnerships with companies might include lease agreements, access, and training to leverage these types of resources in lieu of having to own this equipment themselves.

The Ohio Innovation Exchange (OIEx) provides an openly accessible platform featuring profiles of over 10,000 STEMM-focused faculty experts as well as information about equipment, research support services and intellectual property (IP) from across the higher education system of Ohio.
