PARTNER WITH US!

We welcome collaboration with Oregon university researchers, businesses, entrepreneurs, government and non-government organizations, and nonprofits. Our ultimate goal?
Fueling Oregon’s green economy.

We do this by:

• Fostering industry-university collaborations that transform university research into new ventures, products, and jobs for Oregon.
• Helping new and existing Oregon companies tap our shared-user network of university research labs and expertise to advance their products, services and competitive edge.
• Operating the Oregon BEST Sustainable Built Environment Research Consortium, a regional group of member firms, organizations, and researchers collaborating to research, develop, and commercialize technologies and services for the sustainable built environment.

To speed commercialization of university research, Oregon BEST collaborates closely with Innovate Collaborate Oregon (ICO), which facilitates greater industry access to the latest advances in university research in Oregon. See also the University of Oregon's Integrative Science website and Oregon State University's Partnering With Industry website.

SHARED-USER RESEARCH NETWORK BENEFITS OREGON INDUSTRY
