Innovation

TUS Midwest provides support to enterprise in the region using a wide variety of tools. Together, these mechanisms form the TUS Midwest Enterprise Ladder. The Enterprise Ladder is a unique approach to the provision of support to enterprise, through which the resources of the Institute – academic, research, facilities and finance – are combined together in an integrated way to make the right type of support available to an enterprise in the right way at the right time. The Enterprise Office of TUS Midwest and its enterprise support activities are under the direction of the Institute’s Enterprise Development and Business Liaison Manager, Gillian Barry.
