NAU Innovations

Mission

NAU Innovations catalyzes discovery and transfers research outcomes to the private sector for the benefit of the regional, national and global community.

Principal Objectives:

• To disseminate, for the public benefit, and through the use of worldwide patent and copyright systems, new and useful knowledge generated by NAU research.
• To license NAU inventions to industry in order to promote the commercial development of inventions toward practical application for the benefit of the public.
• To utilize the value of NAU inventions to promote a culture of “open innovation” between NAU and the private sector.
• To provide revenue for supporting further research which, in turn, may facilitate the discovery of more new inventions.
