Our Goal
Our goal is the rapid and wide dissemination of ASU discoveries and inventions into the marketplace.
For this reason, Skysong Innovations was created as a separate corporate entity to act as a proxy for ASU, which substantially increases flexibility and speed in its deal-making and venturing activities.
With the support of its entrepreneurial arm at Skysong Innovations, ASU has become one of the top-performing U.S. universities in terms of intellectual property inputs (inventions disclosed by ASU researchers) and outputs (licensing deals and start-ups). Skysong Innovations was established in 2003 as an Arizona Limited Liability company, formerly known as AzTE.
