These are some of UH<\/abbr>\u2019s research successes shared by UH<\/abbr> Office of Innovation and Commercialization<\/a> (OIC<\/abbr>) Interim Director Steve Auerbach<\/strong> to the UH<\/abbr> Board of Regents Committee on Research and Innovation<\/a> at its virtual meeting<\/a> on June 3.<\/p>\n

“UH<\/abbr> is in a key position to drive economic development and diversify Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span>\u2019s economy through the talent from our students, faculty and staff,” Auerbach said. “Innovation and entrepreneurship will play a significant role in helping to reshape our world post COVID-19.”<\/p>\n

New playbook<\/h2>\n

OIC<\/abbr>\u2019s mission is to bridge connections and build partnerships between UH<\/abbr>, the community and the world; strategically advance discoveries; and inspire innovators and entrepreneurs to create new opportunities for Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span>. Auerbach shared with the regents committee the office\u2019s new strategy<\/a> founded on collaborative partnerships with industry, government and the community that integrates programs focusing on how products go from idea generation, to commercialization and finally their impact on the community.<\/p>\n

Auerbach also shared UH<\/abbr>\u2019s innovation ecosystem, which features more than a dozen external industry partners such as Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span> Tech Bridge<\/a>, Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span> Technology Development Corporation<\/a> and the National Security Innovation Network<\/a>, and several internal partners, including the Pacific Asian Center for Entrepreneurship<\/a> and the M\u0101noa Innovation Center<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Recent successes include securing a $2.7 million grant to grow UH<\/abbr> entrepreneurship, workforce development programs<\/a> and developing a new partnership with the National Security Innovation Network<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“We invite students, faculty and staff from all 10 campuses to take part in one of our programs,” Auerbach said. “If you have an idea, we can foster that idea and help it impact the world in a positive way.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
