Investment in Innovation

The UGA Foundation’s investment committee committed up to $10 million for innovation at UGA. The funds will allow the UGA Foundation to partner with the Office of Research’s Innovation Gateway to bring new technology to the marketplace.

As startup companies with potential for investment emerge from the Innovation Gateway pipeline, the UGA Foundation will serve as a matchmaker, helping recruit private investment and leveraging funds to help drive success in innovation.

This commitment by the UGA Foundation is the latest sign of momentum for innovation at UGA. This year, UGA ranked No. 2 among all U.S. universities and colleges for introducing new products to the market, marking the sixth consecutive year UGA has landed in the top five.
