About CMU-RC
We incubate ideas and help businesses grow.
For emerging businesses...
Our support helps emerging organizations develop their ideas and bring them to market, quickly. We give startups the support they need to put together their business plan, secure intellectual rights, test their ideas, and bring them to market. And we do that in fields from soup to nanotechonlogy. Our incubator hosts wet-labs, offices, and business support facilities—all in proximity to the world-class intellectual and technological resources of Central Michigan University.
For established enterprises...
Our business intelligence consulting group, Business Insights, mines corporate information, often marrying it with data from outside sources, to provide insight into the impact of a wide range of business decisions, identifying ways to save money and generate new revenue. Teams of business intelligence analysts—joined by university researchers and graduate students...and sponsored by business giants IBM, SAS, and ESRI—provide powerful business intelligence support, well below market rates.
Our clients come in all sizes and from a wide range of industries. We work with students and alumni exploring new ideas in food, healthcare, energy, and more. We work with entrepreneurs who need the space, technology, and business support to explore emerging ideas. And we work with Fortune 100 companies using advanced analytics to support sound business decision making.
Most notably, we're easy to work with. If you have an idea, we're here to help you make it work. If you have a question, we're here to find the answer. Talk to us. We'll tell you the many ways we can help your business grow and prosper.
