Midwest Research University Network
The Midwest spans 750,000 square miles and has a population of 70 million people. It's home to 100+ research universities, private research organizations and federal labs that receive over $20+ billion a year in research funding but its sheer size makes it difficult to build and sustain the relationships so critical to research commercialization.
MRUN shrinks this geography and provides companies and investors streamlined access to building relationships with those institutions’ commercialization teams and their research discoveries in four market verticals: Computing; Energy-Industrial; Food Chain; and Human Health.
MRUN, in partnership with 5 Lakes Institute, provides programming focused on building and supporting a Midwest research commercialization culture that is based on established relationships, transparent, systematic and connected. Together we accelerate Midwest research commercialization.
We connect investors and talent to Midwest-based research organizations in pragmatic, highly curated programs. All of them are virtual and focused on one of the five market verticals. All of them result in targeted, productive conversations and stronger connections.
Our programs are intentionally time- and cost-efficient; they’re designed to build the relationships that drive accelerated commercialization.
Please join us in building a uniquely Midwest commercialization culture that fully leverages $20B+ in annual research funding.
