About Us
Building partnerships that move ideas forward.

The Office of Business Engagement (OBE) helps businesses build and sustain lasting partnerships across UW–Madison. We work with you to shape collaborations around your goals and provide ongoing support at every stage.
By bringing together business and university perspectives, we help develop practical approaches that address business challenges and create value for everyone involved.
Whether you are exploring a research collaboration, engaging with students, licensing a technology, developing your workforce, or investing in UW–Madison, OBE helps bring the right resources together and design the best path forward.
“We have found the leadership of the Office of Business Engagement to be a key enabler of a reenergized partnership with UW–Madison. The university has demonstrated its depth of both talent and willingness to find unique new ways of working together and supporting Kohler Company.”
