The Business and Economic Engagement initiative, or BEE, is a university-wide leadership enterprise headed by UNHInnovation to engage the most strategic companies in long-term, multi-dimensional partnerships with UNH.
The BEE is leading UNH's mission to develop deeper, broader relationships with flagship corporate partners by working with companies to maximize opportunities in talent attraction and development, cutting-edge research, advanced technical service delivery, IP and entrepreneurial venture options, access to emerging hubs of technical and research expertise, and the exploration of future developments in tech, business, science, and more.

University-Industry Collaboration
The BEE expands opportunities for meaningful long-term strategic engagement with NH Flagship Companies. Previous models of industry-university collaboration hinged on multiple individual relationships across the university and company, making them difficult to maintain and scale. The BEE brings together stakeholders on both sides to present a curated, ever-evolving set of engagement opportunities in a coordinated, collaborative structure.
Each partnering company will have a designated point of contact, or relationship manager, who works internally to bring together cross-campus representatives for potential industry engagement areas. The BEE takes the guesswork out partnering with UNH, so companies are no longer asking “what resource are available" or "who should I talk to?" Instead, we're saying "let's get to work!"

UNH Faculty & Staff Coordinated Campus Engagement
UNH faculty and staff are encouraged to support this important work by reporting individual engagement activities with industry partners. Self-reporting engagement will help the BEE develop a baseline of partnership activities across campus to better provide resources and coordination in support of ongoing activities with industry partners.
If you are a UNH community member working with companies, please take a moment to fill out this engagement survey.
