In a conference on March 24, UCLA/CNSI launched a “technology incubator” – the first of its kind for UC – in conjunction with UCLA’s Office of Intellectual Property and Industry Sponsored Research (OIP-ISR). The event, held in the CNSI auditorium, brought together faculty entrepreneurs, representatives of industry startups and venture capital firms.
The UCLA on-campus technology incubator will be housed in the CNSI building and will offer four to five separate startup projects access to a total of 1,000 square feet of flexible lab space for 18 to 24 months. Only companies that use technology owned by the UC regents will be admitted, and the startups will pay a modest rent based on Westwood market rates.
The incubator is a “culmination of a list of accomplishments made by UCLA over at least five years and highlights the cohesiveness of UCLA’s family – faculty, staff, administration and students, all coming together behind a goal of creating an improved culture of entrepreneurship,” said Kathryn Atchison, vice provost for OIP-ISR.
