Come visit the front door to doing business with K-State.

Are you a faculty member, staff researcher or student innovator interested in exploring how your ideas can make a difference beyond the lab or classroom? Do you want to engage with businesses and corporations, but don’t know where to start?

Join us at an open house at the Edge District to engage with the Kansas State University Research Foundation, or KSURF, and the Office of External Engagement — Corporate Engagement teams. The open house is part of One K-State Research Week 2026.

Get an inside look at the resources and support available through KSURF, from protecting your ideas, turning discoveries into thriving businesses and contributing to K-State’s culture of innovation.

Learn how the Corporate Engagement team can help align K-State strengths with industry partners and set you up for long-term partnership growth.
