An article highlighting a new $2.4 million statewide program called the Tech Transfer Talent Network, led by the University of Michigan and funded through a grant from the Michigan Economic Development Corp, notes that the network is comprised of seven universities, including Wayne State. Each university is collaborating with its regional economic development organization to promote increased access to mentors and partnering businesses.
