Partners

CITRIS would not be the same without its industrial partners. University of California faculty and students work with our partners to brainstorm ideas and develop technology that may be easily transferred to the commercial sector.

This means a quicker timeline from ideas to reality. It also means faculty members get to see where the market is headed so they can steer their research and students in that direction. Students, on the other hand, benefit by being on the cutting edge of research that can be commercially applied. Finally, the industry reaps the rewards by gaining access to research projects, collaborators, and outstanding students. The state economy also gets a boost—any way you look at it, it’s a win-win.
