- [00:00:04.320]Nebraska Innovation Campus connects business
- [00:00:07.410]with the University of Nebraska.
- [00:00:09.540]We wanted to be close to campus to have a great connection
- [00:00:12.390]with the students.
- [00:00:13.380]We've used university collaborates
- [00:00:14.900]in almost every project that we've done to date.
- [00:00:17.000]The University of Nebraska has top programs
- [00:00:19.950]in business, engineering, agricultural sciences,
- [00:00:23.550]computer science, and software engineering.
- [00:00:26.700]Businesses have access to Nebraska faculty and students
- [00:00:30.530]for internships, employment, research, and collaboration.
- [00:00:34.880]Companies who are looking for leadership
- [00:00:36.900]have this talent pool a mile away.
- [00:00:38.900]So businesses have the opportunity
- [00:00:40.250]to go after these students,
- [00:00:41.300]either directly as employees, or through partnering
- [00:00:43.700]with the school through design studio.
- [00:00:45.810]Software engineering is a pretty prominent program
- [00:00:48.620]here at Nebraska.
- [00:00:50.030]It's ranked third in the world, in terms of research output,
- [00:00:53.510]and its new undergraduate major in software engineering
- [00:00:56.270]is the first of its kind in the Big Ten.
- [00:00:58.910]About 75% of our employees have started
- [00:01:01.210]as undergrads out of UNL.
- [00:01:03.030]Both the cost structure here, as well as the ability
- [00:01:05.630]to access university talent, those two things
- [00:01:08.420]are the things that really made this work for us.
- [00:01:10.890]Partners enjoy complimentary
- [00:01:12.630]high-speed internet and access to other benefits,
- [00:01:15.660]including copy services, conference rooms,
- [00:01:18.570]and child care at the UNL Children's Center.
- [00:01:23.680]Advancement Suites provide incubation space
- [00:01:26.560]for new businesses.
- [00:01:28.400]When companies begin, they're often very, very short
- [00:01:31.590]on financial resources, and so what we need
- [00:01:33.620]to start these companies are very small,
- [00:01:36.390]minimally built-out spaces where you can get together
- [00:01:39.900]and advance your ideas.
- [00:01:40.860]And that's the Innovation Advancement Suites are.
- [00:01:42.890]They were perfect for us.
- [00:01:46.570]We're minutes from downtown Lincoln.
- [00:01:48.760]We have our very own restaurant here on campus,
- [00:01:51.100]and transportation is easy between our campus
- [00:01:53.630]and the other university campuses.
- [00:01:55.970]We built a fiber hotel, in which all fiber carriers
- [00:01:59.850]can come in and, for free, in that way partners
- [00:02:03.060]can have redundancy from multiple carriers.
- [00:02:06.450]Our partners have access to our lovely conference center
- [00:02:09.240]here on campus, and they also have access
- [00:02:11.480]to core facilities at the University of Nebraska Lincoln.
- [00:02:15.080]We have laboratories, pilot plans,
- [00:02:17.570]high-tech research greenhouse space.
- [00:02:20.550]The biotech connector provides incubation
- [00:02:23.290]and acceleration services to bioscience startups
- [00:02:26.520]and other research-based businesses.
- [00:02:29.220]We can bring in students, post-docs, graduate students,
- [00:02:32.020]and that sort of thing, as partners in our team.
- [00:02:35.140]Moreover, we've got this space.
- [00:02:37.410]And I think that's probably
- [00:02:38.600]the really critical thing, is the space.
- [00:02:40.580]It gives us a lot more flexibility in the different things
- [00:02:42.650]we can do to progress the research further.
- [00:02:46.790]Nebraska Innovation Studio
- [00:02:48.700]is a community hub for creators.
- [00:02:52.670]At the Makers' Space, members collaborate on projects
- [00:02:55.920]and share tools.
- [00:02:57.940]For a startup, it's been hugely beneficial.
- [00:03:01.100]We've done our business cards there,
- [00:03:02.740]we've done many, many different things,
- [00:03:04.640]like even prototyping for different things
- [00:03:06.680]that we will then send out to a vendor,
- [00:03:08.430]all the way down to our furniture in our office
- [00:03:10.930]that we've built down there.
- [00:03:13.030]At Nebraska Innovation Campus,
- [00:03:15.090]partners build community.
- [00:03:17.600]Whether you're a startup, you're a early-stage company,
- [00:03:19.690]whatever, you're always gonna run into similar types
- [00:03:22.240]of issues, and so if you have peers to talk to,
- [00:03:24.910]then there's a good chance of somebody else
- [00:03:26.220]has done the same thing before.
- [00:03:28.100]And I love that interaction, it breeds collaboration,
- [00:03:31.200]it breeds just relationships with these people,
- [00:03:34.660]so I know I can just go talk to somebody if I need to.
- [00:03:38.460]Lincoln is just really
- [00:03:39.293]on the right track going forward.
- [00:03:40.870]Really high-performing talent in your backyard.
- [00:03:43.720]Direct connection with faculty research interest.
- [00:03:46.800]I love the energy that's around here.
- [00:03:49.380]Spaces and culture that inspire.
- [00:03:51.700]We welcome businesses to be part of our growth,
- [00:03:54.460]to be part of one of the most dynamic growing
- [00:03:56.710]research environments in the whole United States.
