UCLA on-campus Technology Incubator at the California NanoSystems Institute
The UCLA on-campus Technology Incubation Program at CNSI is an innovative resource with a mission to help accelerate the growth of entrepreneurial start-up companies and early stage technology research projects that originate at UCLA. Proposals/ applications for incubation space are now being considered for the Incubation space opening in March 2009.
The CNSI Incubator Space provides 2000 sq ft of flexible lab space dedicated to housing 8-10 early stage incubation projects on a short-term basis with the goal of forming start-up companies to be spun-out. Located in the brand new 188,000 sq ft CNSI building at UCLA, this incubation space gives start-ups direct access to seven state-of-the-art core lab facilities, including training and in-house technical expertise in such areas as high- throughput analysis, clean room lithography, and a wide array of instrumentation including transmission electron microscopes, high resolution optical microscopes, and atomic force microscopes. Additional amenities include a 260-seat state of the art theater, conference and interaction rooms with wireless internet access.
With access to faculty and scientists from the schools of engineering, physical and life sciences, management, and medicine, UCLA strives to enhance the vibrant culture of entrepreneurship of our academic community and the current and future start-ups that result from the tremendous capability of the university environment.
Seminars, workshops and other training will be available to the public in cooperation with the UCLA Office of Intellectual Property & Industry Sponsored Research, the Anderson School of Management and the UCLA School of Law to help entrepreneurs with all aspects of business development and the marketing of technologies to potential investors.
With a focus on research impacting areas of health, energy, environment and information technology, the CNSI is committed to accelerating the transfer of new technologies from the laboratory to the clinical and commercial marketplace. The CNSI is one of four Institutes for Science and Innovation established by the State of California to better deliver scientific discoveries to the marketplace. CNSI Space committee has endorsed the UCLA on-campus Technology Incubator to steward UCLA technology with the goal of forming companies to be spun-out.
The Technology Incubator space at CNSI will be awarded through a competitive proposal process with the criteria that proposals are based on UCLA IP and have a UCLA representative within the company or proposal.
