One of the best ways to get results marketing lab supplies is to increase your lab supply company’s brand recognition at a well-funded research campus.

Researchers at the University of Wisconsin, Madison received one award in particular, the Institutional Clinical and Translational Science Award, for $6.6 million in 2014. Project leader Dr. Marc Drezner was notified of this award on June 12th, 2014, and the funding organization within the NIH was the National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences.

The University of Wisconsin's University Research Park campus comprises of 255 acres in Madison and is on the verge of a major expansion. Biotechnology Calendar, Inc. staff writer Sam Asher covered this major development on the Science Market Update blog, and the story as written on our blog was featured on University Research Park’s own news page. Forbes recently recognized the University Research Park as one of 12 leading business incubators in the country, making the campus an attractive location for lab suppliers working to market lab supplies within a profitable marketplace.

“This new study demonstrates the return that’s being paid on the creation of University Research Park as part of the University of Wisconsin-Madison’s efforts to transfer university-discovered technology to the private sector, where it can be refined and commercialized,” said Mark D. Bugher, director of University Research Park. “The park companies that are doing this hard work generate almost a billion dollars in economic impact each year, support more than 9,000 jobs across Wisconsin and make significant state and local tax contributions. The results of the URP economic impact study reinforces the priority we’ve put on technology transfer and fostering the growth of companies born on this campus as a result.”
