Industry/University Engagement
Considering engaging with a university for the first time?
Industry/university engagements can be beneficial to both partners and provide amazing experiences for participating students. However, without proper preparation they can lead to significant frustration as industry and universities have very different purposes and business models. Understanding the differences between industry and university business models and purposes is key to building a long-lasting, successful collaboration.
​
Birdsong Consulting's industry/university engagement services help businesses develop strategies to make the most of engaging with universities and facilitate internal discussions around key agreement terms (including publication and intellectual property).
