The University of Missouri System plans to establish a new three-year, $5 million fund for start-up companies, President Gary Forsee announced Friday in his State of the University address.

He said he anticipates the new fund will leverage the university’s expertise in life sciences, nano science, information technology, engineering, medicine/medical devices and energy.
