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.
