License Agreements 

OIP works with partners to understand the options available for accessing technologies in short-term, commercial or longer-term arrangements.  


Co-location

Campus presence enables comprehensive engagement with our faculty, graduate students and undergrads. Due to the growth in demand for companies to have operations close to campus, Purdue constructed the Convergence Center for Innovation and Collaboration, dedicated to providing flexible and permanent space for companies to co-locate and partner with the University. Whether you’re looking for an office to house a handful of researchers or real estate to build a Midwestern facility within arm’s reach of a world-leading research institution, the Office of Industry Partnerships will help you explore the opportunities for growth at Purdue University.   


Funding Innovation

OIP provides material support for research and the development of intellectual property by setting up meetings, providing legal assistance, greenlighting approvals and tracking progress. They work extensively with data to ensure research projects move along smoothly, with accurate reporting throughout the process. 

OIP staff can also help align faculty research, patents and product development with the needs of local industry and connect faculty with resources to fund new initiatives.
