Applications are now open for the spring 2021 cohort of Launch Blue’s UAccel University Technology Commercialization Focused Cohort. The program is designed to offer professional development and an experiential learning opportunity to innovators in higher education interested in learning the best commercialization path for their technology. The program's goal is to advance the technology toward commercialization, including preparations for Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) grant applications, creation of a startup, or licensing of the technology. 

The online application window will close on Friday, December 18th. The application can be viewed here. An Information Session will be held via Zoom on Thursday, December 3rd, at 12 PM ET. Candidates will be selected through a competitive application and interview process. The final selections for the cohort are determined by a selection committee appointed by the organizing partners. The spring 2021 cohort will run from February 19, 2021, until May 9, 2021. 

The University Technology Commercialization Focused Cohort of Launch Blue is organized in partnership with the University of Kentucky (UK) Office of Technology Commercialization and Kentucky Commercialization Ventures.
