Celebrating 90 years of bringing innovations to market

2024 marks a significant milestone for UTRF as we celebrate our 90th anniversary of bringing groundbreaking innovations to the marketplace!

For nearly a century, we’ve been at the forefront of driving change and pushing the boundaries of what’s possible. Our journey has been marked by a relentless pursuit of innovation, fueled by the dedication and creativity of our team.

One of the most rewarding aspects of the last 90 years has been the privilege of collaborating with innovators across all of UT System’s campuses. Together, we’ve fostered a culture of creativity and excellence, driving forward cutting-edge solutions that have made a tangible impact on society.

As we celebrate this occasion over the next several months, we want to extend our heartfelt gratitude to every member of our team, past and present, for their hard work, passion, and commitment to excellence. It’s your collective effort that has propelled us to where we are today.

We also want to thank our partners and collaborators across the UT System for their unwavering support and partnership. Together, we’ve achieved remarkable milestones and paved the way for a future filled with endless possibilities.

Here’s to 90 years of innovation, and to many more years of pushing the boundaries of what’s possible!
