We move discoveries forward.

The Kansas State University Research Foundation, known as KSURF, helps researchers translate their discoveries into practical solutions for the public. By protecting, commercializing and licensing intellectual property, KSURF turns innovation into thriving businesses.

KSURF works with faculty, staff and students to secure patents and copyrights, identify commercialization opportunities and build collaborations that benefit not only researchers, but also the university, the state of Kansas and beyond.

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.
