• Bridging the Gap between Cutting-Edge University Research/Innovation and Economy-Promoting Commercialization For the Benefit of our Communities

• Creating a Climate, Culture & Community to Enable Talent and Ideas to Grow in the Region

At the heart of Olympus are its PROBEs (PROBlem-oriented Explorations) and their proof-of-concept explorations that enable faculty, students and Innovation Fellows to investigate the commercial potential of their cutting-edge research and ideas and stimulate innovation. (See PROBE Application Information below). A key goal is to augment and accelerate the process of moving basic research and great ideas to development and business stages, with licensing, spin-offs, start-ups and corporate collaboration and partnering.
