Welcome to the Office of Corporate Partnerships
The Office of Corporate Partnerships serves as a liaison between the University of Kentucky and the business community. As the primary point of entry for a company, our office fosters mutually beneficial partnerships by pairing University strengths and resources with industry needs and interests.
As Kentucky’s land-grant and flagship institution, UK recognizes and embraces its responsibility for improving lives across the region, the U.S. and the world. The University’s role as an economic engine for Kentucky requires that it develop strategic business alliances essential to building a stronger, more competitive workforce within the state and beyond. The Office of Corporate Partnerships serves to advance collaborative partnerships, connecting companies with the University’s distinguished faculty, exceptional students and broad research and service capabilities.
