About Us

Our consulting firm grew out of consistent demand for services from UIDP‘s membership, a global leader in defining and supporting best practices and strategies for university–industry partnerships.

At UI Collab, our team of experts brings deep experience from years of service at leading universities and companies. We support organizations not only in developing effective collaboration strategies but also in building the leadership and professional capacity required to execute them. Whether you represent a company seeking to expand academic relationships, a university aiming to strengthen corporate engagement, or a government or nonprofit agency seeking to bolster its multisector strategy, our consultants have been there. They possess the experience necessary to identify practical solutions and align leadership, structure, and talent with institutional goals.

In addition to strategic advisory services, UI Collab provides executive and professional recruitment services for innovation leadership, technology transfer, sponsored research, commercialization, and corporate engagement and industry partnership roles. Delivered through a strategic partnership with Gardner Innovation Search Partners and Higher Talent, these services align with your institutional strategy to strengthen long-term performance.
