“The LINKED Program provides students with an opportunity to gain industry experience while working directly with client companies on strategic initiatives. Companies, on the other hand, benefit from students’ intellectual and creative abilities as they explore new markets, technologies and business models all while developing a valuable recruiting pipeline.”
““Partnering with CUIC on the EUCAST Commercialization Project was a game-changer for our organization as we worked to relocate this South Korean company to the Denver area. The students helped us test the technology and assess the market ultimately leading to a very successful field trial with the Colorado Department of Transportation... We definitely know that our first hires here in Colorado will be student members of the team.” ”
