Industry Partnerships

Driving Innovation

At SEAS, we aim to be the premier engineering and research partner in New York City. Industry lends the School its advice and financial support, and Columbia in turn provides corporations with well-educated engineers and managers. Our researchers develop the processes, materials, and systems that make industry more efficient and competitive.  

These collaborations between industry, government, and higher education drive innovation. We encourage you to join us. Ways to be involved include:

Support research faculty in your area of interest

Collaborate in a major research initiative

License specific technology

Support students through financial aid

Recruit students and alumni
