UBC is a research and innovation powerhouse with a strong track record of industry-sponsored research projects.
Our annual operating budget is nearly $4 billion, with more than $700 million allocated to research, supporting approximately 10,000 projects each year—nearly 11 per cent of which are industry-sponsored collaborations. We are a community of over 70,000 students, more than 7,300 faculty members, and over 13,500 staff, working across two major campuses in Vancouver and the Okanagan. Our network includes numerous research centers and affiliated institutions worldwide.
We are big, connected, and impactful—but navigating UBC can feel complex. That’s where the Innovation Partnerships team comes in.
