MANHATTAN — Kansas State University’s goal of being recognized nationally as a top 50 public research university by 2025 is getting a boost.
A recently formed partnership between the National Institute for Strategic Technology Acquisition and Commercialization, or NISTAC, and the Midwest Research Institute, or MRI, will use many of the processes in the marketing and commercialization of K-State technologies to help deliver technologies to the market on behalf of MRI.
“This partnership with MRI is key to achieving the K-State 2025 plan,” said Kirk Schulz, K-State president. “Since NISTAC works closely with research generated though K-State, we consider the organization to be an extension of the university.”
NISTAC was created to help grow the economy of the city of Manhattan, the state of Kansas and the region through the commercialization of K-State intellectual property, either by licensing or facilitation of technology-based business start-ups.
