Universities are an incredible force within each state.  Not only are they an educational institution for higher learning, they contain some of the best research facilities in the world.  Universities give depth and direction to their state, and Indiana is blessed with several world class universities.

The Indiana Venture Center understands that powerful results could be generated if the universities within Indiana would work together - endless opportunities could be presented to faculties and students. 

To strengthen our impact and give us a strong differentiator, the Indiana Venture Center has partnered with seven of Indiana’s best universities.  These institutions empower the Indiana Venture Center with faculty, students, knowledge, and research initiatives. 

All seven of these world class universities promote higher education, and each has taken a stand to advance entrepreneurs and the Indiana community.  By partnering with these universities, we are creating a collaborative alliance to foster:

• Cross pollination of ideas between the schools;
• Assistance in developing methods to create more technology transfer successes in Indiana;
• Creation of more opportunities to share ideas between the schools’ faculties and students;
• Create more opportunities for graduates to stay in Indiana; and
• Attract more top students to universities within Indiana.
