About Us

The Office of Business Engagement (formerly the Office of Corporate Relations) connects business and industry with the resources they need to advance their businesses. Our new name is a restatement of the university’s proud 15-year commitment to help facilitate access across the university community, to help understand relevant interests and needs, to bring together contacts and experts from across campus and develop strategies for a business relationship.

Whether you are looking to solve a business challenge, create a new product, address a process issue, hire professionals, find training, or are simply curious about what is possible in collaborating with UW–Madison, we invite you to explore our website and contact us with your specific needs.

We look forward to working with you!
