A big reason for this is that many labs partner with companies to sponsor reseach, and the solotions developed are the rights of said companies. Yet there entrepernuership programs specifically or faculty are also labs and faculty who have no interest in pursuing the idea to turn it into a start up; who would prefer difficult to keep developing new ideas and publishing papersfind.&nbsp;</span> =    = Actively Supporting the University Technology Transfer Function <br/> =  The main resource for support are CWRU LaunchNet and the CWRU Technology Transfer Officein the law school.They provide support for students and faculty and offer a full spectrum of services to assist and lead the succesful commercialization of innovations created at CWRU..  = Facilitating University-Industry Collaboration <br/> =  Being located in North-Eastern Ohio, CWRU is centered in one of the best areas for University-Indutry collaboration.&nbsp; CWRU has a strong co-op and internship program that promotes and helps pair students with local companies.
