Connecting UCI and the Business Community

UCI Beall Applied Innovation’s connections between UCI researchers and the corporate community streamlined the commercialization process as they negotiated exclusive licenses for inventions developed by myself, and my colleagues here at UCI.

UCI Beall Applied Innovation supports and protects our scholars' work, fosters their ongoing spirit of innovation, and connects their discoveries to markets where they have world-changing possibilities.

My colleague and I came to UCI Beall Applied Innovation when we had a little more than an idea and a vague game plan. At every step of the way I was amazed at how helpful and collaborative working with UCI was; you really get the feeling they're invested in your success.

UCI Beall Applied Innovation is envisioned to be an epicenter of innovation in Orange County, creating a vibrant, interconnected and self-sustaining community of students, scholars, industries, and entrepreneurs.

The ecosystem and entrepreneurial community being fostered at the Cove is playing a key part in the successes of UCI Faculty Innovators. For us, it has been indispensable. We connected with a few Cove residents and this resulted in seed funding that contributed to getting us off the ground.

I am grateful to start companies at this time at UCI because UCI Beall Applied Innovation provides extensive services that allow me to navigate through this unfamiliar territory.

UCI Beall Applied Innovation and the Cove are incredible opportunities for current students and researchers to take advantage of all the resources UCI has to offer students under one roof, particularly the Invention Transfer Group and entrepreneurship training.

We are creating a microcosm of Orange County's entrepreneurial ecosystem under one roof with incubators and accelerators, angel investors, and venture capitalists, mentors, and legal experts - all the resources and expertise new businesses need to succeed.

UCI has been a driving force in uncovering breakthroughs that have real-world impact. Together, we hope to bring these discoveries to life, benefiting students, faculty, business leaders, and the community and society as a whole.
