UNITE and the University of Louisville Announce Collaboration to Elevate Corporate Relationships
UNITE, a training, consulting and technology company, and the University of Louisville today announced they will work together to drive engagement with the business community and increase collaboration among internal teams.
More and more universities are putting an emphasis on holistic management of its industrial relationships. “At UNITE we have cracked the code on how universities activate corporate relationships,” said Chris Svec, Co-Founder of UNITE. “Our proprietary process and valuation tool were designed specifically to help universities work more effectively with industry, resulting in aligned internal teams going to business with a singular voice and increased engagement and funding.”
UofL is one of just 79 universities designated as both Research-1 and community-engaged by the the Carnegie Classification of Institutions of Higher Education, meaning it not only produces top-tier research, but works with community and industry partners to exchange knowledge and resources for public benefit. UNITE’s Valuation Tool and Process will provide resources for holistic management and measurement of industry relationships.
“UofL has a strong record of working with industry, helping companies innovate and solve problems and build their talent pipelines with well-trained UofL graduates,” said Kevin Gardner, UofL’s executive vice president for research and innovation. “By investing in this partnership, we will better connect those across our campus who are actively fostering valuable relationships and further accelerate engagement across all university missions to better serve our metropolitan region and its businesses.”
The collaboration between UNITE and the University of Louisville launched in April, 2022.
