Connecting UW-Madison environmental expertise with business needs
The Enterprise bridges academic innovation with industry needs around complex environmental issues. What is your organization trying to solve and how can we help?
Energy Engagement
We work with the Energy Analysis and Policy graduate certificate program to connect students and faculty with real-world clients in the energy sector through networking trips, capstone projects, sponsored research, and fee-for-service contracts.
Coordinating Data Center Research
QTS Data Centers is working with UW-Madison (Project Manager Paul Meier) to research energy, water, and environmental sustainability challenges and opportunities associated with data center development.
NASA Commercial Impact Hub
The Commercial Impact Hub, established in 2025, builds pathways for the integration of NASA satellite data products to support private-sector operations, investments, and decision-making.
Campus and National Outreach
We support events and partnerships that grow connections across campus. We also engage on the national level, connecting with the private sector at conferences, roundtables, industry events, and more.
Connecting on Local Sustainability
The Enterprise co-leads UW’s Business Hub for Innovation and Environment, which advances applied environmental sustainability solutions with industry partners in Wisconsin.
