Texas Innovation Center
Longhorn Tech Nation
The Texas Innovation Center, located in the Engineering Education and Research Center, is the hub at The University of Texas at Austin for bringing engineering and science discoveries and technologies to the market.
While the center’s primary focus is STEM faculty and graduate students, we welcome collaboration with other areas of campus and opportunities to work synergistically with the Cockrell School of Engineering and the College of Natural Sciences.
The center provides commercialization support through:
- Events and programming
- Dedicated co-working space
- Wet lab incubator
- Networking connections with UT alumni and friends
- Startup resources
- And much more!
