Brandeis Innovation
Our Mission
Brandeis Innovation empowers the Brandeis community—including faculty, researchers, students, and staff—to translate groundbreaking ideas into real-world impact. As the central hub for innovation and entrepreneurship, we provide comprehensive support from invention triage and intellectual property management, through strategic marketing and licensing of university technologies. We facilitate critical agreements, manage iEdison reporting to ensure Federal compliance, and educate the university community on intellectual property and technology commercialization. We cultivate the next generation of innovators through programs like Spark and by fostering translational research funding via the Sprout program. By also serving as a trusted internal resource for the Brandeis community, we nurture strategic alliances and maximize the societal and economic benefits of Brandeis discoveries, driving innovation from concept to sustainable impact. We comprise two distinct entities:
The Office of Technology Licensing and the Virtual Incubator.
