For companies that want a more comprehensive, more strategic and broad-scope relationship with Temple, the University offers research-based Corporate Strategic Alliances. Temple Alliances enable companies to leverage program-managed access to University intellectual capital on a broad-scale beyond sole principal investigators. Corporate Strategic Alliances, which have the support of senior administration and deans, are larger-scale, formally managed relationships centered around Company-University agreements that include multiyear financial commitments, faculty research, research centers, programmatic interactions, intellectual property licensing, and services such as training. Temple Corporate Strategic Alliances help companies capitalize on the University’s annual research expenditures of over a half-billion dollars as well as significant, focused investments in such pervasive areas as the life sciences, nanoscience, bioengineering, computing and information science.
Corporate Strategic Alliances help companies that want to explore new business models, or whose R&D functions can be assisted by engaging with academic research scientists who are among the best in their fields, or that need access to the latest equipment and facilities. Alliances begin with a careful analysis of the company’s business and research needs matched against Temple’s research strengths and capabilities.
