Real-World Innovation Starts with Real Collaboration
We’re launching something new at the UW Tech Exploration Lab—and you’re invited to help shape it.
Lab Industry Learning Groups are forming now to bring together forward-thinking professionals who want to:
-
Stay ahead of emerging technologies
-
Connect with UW–Madison research and talent
-
Gain actionable insights through peer-to-peer learning
-
Explore opportunities for innovation and collaboration
Whether your focus is Digital Health, Manufacturing, Sustainability, AgTech, or AI/Tech, or something else these curated groups will give you a front-row seat to what’s next—plus a trusted network of fellow decision-makers and innovators.
But this isn’t just about insight—it’s about impact.
Mentor the Next Generation
Members of Industry Groups will also have the opportunity to mentor student teams working on real-world challenges using emerging technologies. Share your experience, gain fresh perspectives, and help shape ideas that could transform your industry.
Join a Learning Network
Industry Groups aren’t one-time events—they’re an ongoing community of learners and leaders. You’ll take part in structured, ongoing conversations that combine research, trendspotting, and hands-on experimentation at the edge of what’s possible.
