    Description:

    The Business Innovation Center at the Photonics Center is a 15,000 net square foot facility that currently houses eleven companies with the flexibility to adjust space configuration to accommodate growing companies or increase the number of companies in the launch phase. A turnkey, all-inclusive price structure includes cost of space, common areas, permits, taxes, utilities and overhead allowing companies to focus on core business execution. Companies aligned with Photonic Center faculty research have priority in reserving space in the Innovation Center and companies in the Center are encouraged to engage with faculty and students to enhance the entrepreneurial culture within the university. Companies may hire student interns, collaborate with faculty and jointly participate with faculty and the Photonics Center staff in pursuit of Sponsored Research funding. The Center is home to 26 faculty laboratories and four shared facilities including the Optoelectronic Processing Facility, the Precision Measurement Laboratory, the FIB/TEM Facility, and the MSE Core Facilities.
