UM system announces $5 million commitment to research, job creation
The UM system announced today that it will establish a three-year, $5 million Enterprise Investment Program to create more jobs.
"This new fund is designed to help fund start-up companies in Missouri that can move the discoveries of our faculty from the laboratory to the marketplace," UM system President Gary Forsee said. "This will create more high-quality jobs, build the state's tax revenues and cultivate new revenue for the university."
