U-M Research Centers

The following are comprised Academic departments at University of Michigan and Eastern Michigan University with relevance to Washtenaw County clusters.

The University of Michigan is a powerhouse of research. The University’s Office of Technology Transfer continues to expand its programs to encourage researchers to move technologies and discoveries from the university to the marketplace. The Ann Arbor/Ypsilanti area will continue to benefit from this due to geographic proximity. However, a deeper understanding of and connections with relevant departments could also provide an economic boost for the community by ensuring local companies are aware of compatible technologies being developed at the University, as well as Eastern. This is especially true in light of the U-M’s proposed Accelerated Innovation and Technology-Based Economic Development plan.
