Faculty & Staff
Taking innovation to the market.
Innovation begins with dedicated research and discoveries.
The journey of turning an idea into a business can be difficult to navigate without help. The Center for Innovation's expertise in commercialization will guide fellow innovators through this process using lean launch principles and customer discovery tools. If you are a UND faculty member, postdoc, or researcher, we can help you answer questions, such as:
- Would someone pay for my solution and who is that person?
- Does my solution address a pain point for someone else?
- How do I tell someone the value of my idea?
- What are ways I can fund a potential business idea?
