What is THE Nucleus Institute?

We are Utah’s collaborative engine for innovation, commercialization, and impact. By connecting higher education, industry, government, and startups, we turn ideas into action and solutions.

Through shared commercialization services, investment funding, student-powered projects, and policy innovation labs, Nucleus accelerates the future Utah is ready to lead.

This isn’t just about launching startups. It’s about building the systems that launch solutions to real problems, for real people.

Why is this happening?

Innovative ideas frequently fail to reach the market due to a lack of resources, mentoring, and networking opportunities.

Current policies are not always conducive to rapid innovation and workforce development. There is a need for stronger advocacy and collaboration between policymakers, industries, and educational institutions and a place to solve those big problems.

The Nucleus Institute is designed to address the pressing need for a more connected approach to workforce development, innovation, and commercialization. By fostering collaboration between educational institutions, industries, and government bodies, the Nucleus Institute aims to create an integrated ecosystem.
