���Ҵ�ý�ƽ������ and Ball Aerospace have been collaborating for decades to solve mysteries of the universe. That partnership was also the university’s first commercial spin-off and it greased the gears of an entrepreneurial engine that continues to power innovation within the university and far beyond.

The National Academy of Inventors (NAI) has ranked the CU system 14th among the “Top 100” institutions nationwide for recent patent activity. That prominent position reflects the strength of CU-led discoveries and their potential to be translated into society-benefiting technologies with the support of CU’s robust entrepreneurial ecosystem.

Forbes—Prometheus Materials, a ���Ҵ�ý�ƽ������ spinout, has a solution for replacing one of the biggest contributors of greenhouse gasses, financial backing from Microsoft and an aggressive plan to scale up quickly.

Duality Accelerator—The first stage in creating a scalable quantum network requires the consistent generation of photons, the smallest possible quantum of light. Where do these photons come from? If you ask Poolad Imany, founder and CEO of ���Ҵ�ý�ƽ������ startup Icarus Quantum, he’d say from devices developed by his company.

���Ҵ�ý�ƽ������ Today—The Compliant Legged Articulated Robotic Insect (CLARI) comes from a team of engineers at ���Ҵ�ý�ƽ������. The little, squishable robot that can passively change its shape to squeeze through narrow gaps—with a bit of inspiration from the world of bugs. Ultimately, the team wants to develop shape-changing robots that can move through a complex, natural space—in which the machines will need to bounce off obstacles like trees or even blades of grass or push through the cracks between rocks and keep going.

Innosphere Ventures—Aspero Medical, a ���Ҵ�ý�ƽ������ spinout and medical device startup focused on the design and development of innovative technology to improve gastrointestinal (GI) endoscopy procedures, has received clearance from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to market and sell the Ancora-SB small bowel balloon overtube.

U.S. Department of Energy—Latimer Controls, a ���Ҵ�ý�ƽ������ spinout, is developing intelligent control software that enables utility-scale photovoltaics (PV) to provide power reliably and on demand. This will replace grid reliance on fossil fuels, drive higher profitability for PV operators and generate revenue increases for solar asset owners with low capital cost.
