When companies get together around a university industry affiliates program, it implies a hotspot of innovation. As an example we've made a list of industry affiliate programs within one particular School and added Visible Legacy Navigator links to help Tech Scouts find these interesting areas of research.
The Packard Foundation is celebrating 30 years of offering early-career awards to talented academic researchers. We've made a list to help Tech Scouts find Packard Foundation Fellows.
We've updated the Navigator website with data and features to make it a powerful map-based search front-end to the open data from academic research. Most features are aimed at Industry Tech Scouts seeking innovations or talent emerging from the top 25 research universities. We have also added enhancements for Foundations sponsoring research and for university departments seeking to attract more industrial sponsorship.
Visible Legacy continues to add content to its portal for Tech Scouts, now including Stanford, Duke, UCSF, Columbia, and more.
Update: We've added a page of the Top 25 University Licensing Offices with links directly to the respective university Technology Search pages and to our top-level map for each school. Please check it out here.
Thank you to all our users and stakeholders for your help this year. I want to give you a status update on Visible Legacy as we conclude the 2017 year.
