During today’s #COVID19 UPDATE with @GovMikeDeWine, Lt. Gov. @JonHusted gave an update on the #OhioIPPromise launched last year to streamline the process for guiding intellectual property through to commercialization.

“Ohio is home to a lot of great research.” JH Image
The #OhioIPPromise enabled the @uofcincy to generate a record 400 percent increase in startups last year, spun out of UC intellectual property, & a 1,000 percent increase this year.
.@UDRI_1 also joined the #OhioIPPromise & developed tech that uses X-rays to diagnose COVID-19.

The licensee noted that the IP Promise helped the deal move along quickly by reducing risk because of the transparency & trust created by the initiative.
