To promote the growth of R&D and innovation, Illinois must grow university-industry R&D collaborations.

Currently, the state ranks 8th for university R&D funded by businesses, and patents co-assigned to both a university and company. Illinois ranks 13th in publications co-authored by at least one university and industry researcher.

Gray Background Selected

DPI is a matchmaker and organizer, building research teams and pairing them with funders’ needs.


Integrate

We then integrate those teams into Chicago’s corporate and tech community.


Build

We build infrastructure for these teams, from lab space to in-kind fundraising support, to give them a greater chance of success.


Grow

We help these teams get their ideas to market — either through a license or startup. This creates jobs and grows our economy.
