About Us

Become an Aggie Innovator

At the Mike and Renee Child Institute for Innovation and Entrepreneurship, we believe that UC Davis students, faculty and staff have a responsibility to change the world.

And that we have a responsibility—and the tools, knowledge and expertise—to help you do just that.

We help researchers find a path to commercialization—and help students develop the entrepreneurial mindset needed to solve our world’s challenging social and economic problems.
