Collaborating with the best engineers and scientists is a catalyst for new business opportunities. Whether you are interested in augmenting your internal research capabilities, investigating novel technologies, or seeking talented employees, UC Santa Barbara’s Corporate Affiliates Program can help you make the connection.
The entrepreneurial spirit resonates at UCSB. Our students and faculty have been involved in over 130 start-up companies. The technology developed spans the fields of novel energy saving innovations such as solid state, LED lighting and next generation solar energy materials to the Atomic Force Microscope (AFM), which provides a window into the atomic world.
