We move discoveries forward.

The Kansas State University Research Foundation, or KSURF, helps researchers protect, commercialize and translate their discoveries into practical solutions through industry partnerships, licensing and technology transfer.

We work with faculty, staff and students to secure intellectual property, identify commercialization opportunities and build collaborations that benefit researchers, the university and the state of Kansas.

Our KSURF team also can provide assistance with university tech-based startup opportunities. If you believe your technology has broad market appeal, would be attractive to investment, and you have an interest in helping to advance a new company, the KSURF team can help guide you from founding and funding to managing and scaling.
