Research technology company Digital Science and the Ohio Department of Higher Education (ODHE) have launched The Ohio Innovation Exchange (OIEx). The new online platform connects industry with faculty, students, equipment, and facilities available at Ohio's research universities. OIEx consolidates these academic resources from multiple universities into a single, searchable, and easily accessible web portal.
Combining the research information management capabilities of Symplectic Elements and the search and discovery power of Dimensions, OIEx allows visitors to: find relevant experts and suitable potential collaborators; explore each institution's publications, patents, and equipment; and connect with the OIEx network of industry liaisons to find more information and create relationships with researchers and institutions.
An initiative of ODHE and built by Digital Science, OIEx was originally developed by four Ohio universities with industry support from the Ohio Manufacturing Institute. OIEx is now a publicly available platform that, in its current phase, provides industry in search of expertise with free access to more than 8,250 faculty members and 900 resources from the following universities - Case Western University, Ohio University, The Ohio State University, Cleveland State University, The University of Akron, and the University of Cincinatti.
From research partnerships, intellectual property, and technology licensing opportunities to business development and even student internships, OIEx brings those connections to bear, and the scope of OIEx will expand further as other institutions join.
