Researchers based at UBC Okanagan and partners in the Okanagan region have dedicated lead contacts to access the UILO’s coordinated services.
These services include creating research partnership agreements and pursuing the commercialization of UBC research discoveries.
We can also connect potential start-ups with entrepreneurship @UBC programs at the Innovation UBC hub based in the Innovation Centre in downtown Kelowna, and support researchers with industry outreach and relationship development.
To coordinate UBC Okanagan UILO services, the Okanagan team offers a central email for any UILO related inquiry. Please use uilo.ubco@ubc.ca and a member of the Okanagan team will connect with you to assist with your needs.
