MADE is a cutting-edge commercialization initiative by the University of Iowa. Products are developed by Faculty and Staff, prototyped and manufactured locally, then sold directly through a web-based platform. A multi-disciplinary student operations team assists with the development, manufacturing, pricing, marketing, sales, quality and regulatory affairs of all products. Through MADE, these students gain first-hand knowledge of bringing a product to market.
All products are available for license through UIRF.
Our Inventors
Surgeons, physicians and medical professionals understand the medical challenges better than anyone else. They are expert users who see opportunities to improve on current methods and technologies within their practice. We are constantly looking for ways to discover more innovation at the University of Iowa and now we have a way to highlight the inventions of our medical experts and take them to the next level. Iowa MADE is proud to work with these innovators!
