It’s obvious that there’s a market for connecting graduates and businesses, but why wait until young people have finished their studies?

Universities appear to recognize that their patent and commercialization projects must change and are moving to, what Valdivia terms, a "nurturing start-ups model."

MSU’s research office has a $3.5 million shortage because the university’s total research dollars dropped from a record $112 million to $94 million last year.
