“The gulf between research discoveries and commercial products is wide, deep, and exceedingly difficult to cross. The University Venture Development Fund will provide Oregon's institutions with an important resource to help bridge that gap, while simulataneously supporting the education of Oregon's next generation of entrepreneurial business leaders.”
