WNCG’s budget comes from a combination of corporate sponsors, state and federal government funding, and subcontracts from other universities. Our focus on corporate support reflects our commitment to collaborative research and to technology transfer enabling innovative ideas WNCG has developed to find their way to the market, and our work to have the highest possible impact on current and future technologies. Our Industrial Affiliates serve as a catalyst by bringing their operational, technological challenges, and experience to our midst, and by providing sponsorship, collaboration and leadership in leveraging WNCG’s intellectual capital and resources.
