UF Innovate supports an innovation ecosystem at UF that moves research discoveries from the laboratory to the market, fostering a resilient economy and making the world a better place.

Based at one of the nation’s leading research institutions, UF Innovate comprises four organizations: Tech Licensing, Ventures, Pathways, and Accelerate, which includes two business incubators, The Hub and Sid Martin Biotech.

Organized under the UF Research umbrella, this quartet forms a comprehensive commercialization system that brings together six critical elements: facilities, capital management, training, talent, intellectual property, and technology-transfer expertise.
