"ASU researchers are committed to scientific discoveries benefitting the university and society as a whole. AzTE fosters a dynamic relationship between our scientists and industry to effectively transform technology into marketable products and services. "
The Office for the Vice President of Research and Economic Affairs is committed to advancing research and economic development for ASU, Arizona State, and the global community. "ASU's research expenditures have increased by nearly 400% since ASU became a Research I university in 1994. This rapid expansion is fueled by a combination of growth in longstanding ASU academic strengths and in new areas of interdisciplinary research, drawing top researchers to ASU from other universities and attracting significantly more support from funding agencies. ASU is on the way to fulfilling its ambitious commitment to increase research expenditures by 15% every year, which will continue to improve ASU's research success and national reputation." OVPREA is committed to creating centers of innovation, excellence and connections to the global market.
SkySong, ASU Technopolis, and the Edson Student Entrepreneur Initiative are projects within OVPREA that enhance AzTE's continued relationship with the Vice President's team.
