University of Washington
A wellspring of innovation The University of Washington is much more than a picturesque campus — it’s an intellectual capital powerhouse. The public research university generated nearly $1 billion in grants and contracts in 2005 and spawned 188 new companies that were based on UW research advances. Students from the UW Business School have access to intellectual resources across the university — including cutting-edge faculty research, extensive libraries, national centers of learning, and a pool of enterprising thinkers interested in new ventures.
