AURP Podcast – University Research Parks: Entrepreneurship and Innovation

By March 22, 2018No Comments

TUFF believes in the creation of start-up incubators driving entrepreneurship that can serve as catalytic developments within University Research Parks. Laura Frerichs, Director of Research Park and Economic Development at University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, and TUFF’s Vice President of Operations, Mason Ailstock, discuss how the Association of University Research Parks (AURP) is helping to cultivate University Entrepreneurship Spaces and Places, serving students, faculty, and partners of universities that are commercializing research and cultivating technology startups from universities. These locations are often successful as part of Innovation Districts and Research Parks that co-habit a mix of corporate innovation spaces, other successful startup companies, accelerator and venture funds, and translational research facilities and institutes.
