WE PURSUE THE BREAKTHROUGH

Catalytic thinking leads to life-changing impact.

Welcome to the FedEx Institute of Technology at the University of Memphis. We
combine and optimize university, corporate and community resources to propel
consequential research and high-impact innovation, the kind of work that
ultimately produces new technologies, patentable intellectual property, and even
exciting new commercial enterprises committed to making the future a better
place. 

 


WHERE HARD QUESTIONS BECOME HARD SCIENCE

How can we use personal mobile sensors to improve global health? What new paths
in artificial intelligence can lead us to better ways of learning? How can
additive manufacturing improve national security? These and many other questions
lead our researchers in their quests for something new, better and far-reaching.
In short, we pursue the breakthrough.

The FedEx Institute of Technology supports unique interdisciplinary Research
Clusters made up of faculty members from across campus and around the world who
are dedicated to advancing the science of what’s next. Our researchers are
focused on both the most pressing issues facing us today and the most exciting
possibilities and opportunities that lie ahead. 

Discover more about the Research we support and the impact it is making around
the world.

 


WHERE COLLABORATION BECOMES INNOVATION

Some experiments work well in a vacuum, but people rarely do. That’s why we
create dynamic collaborative opportunities for business, research, education and
innovation. Our UMRF Research Park has become a center for creative empowerment.
The company we spun out, UMRF Ventures, provides a talent pipeline resource for
companies, employment opportunities for students and, ultimately, a qualified
pipeline of graduates for employers. And, our FRONTIERS initiative creates an
avenue for corporate leaders to use our premier research resources and students
to explore big ideas, overcome obstacles and create and bring impactful,
sustainable technological solutions.

Learn more about how we drive Innovation.

 


WHERE ENGAGEMENT BECOMES EMPOWERMENT

The FedEx Institute of Technology brings experts from around the world together
for lightning talks, hackathons, webinars and a wide variety of emerging tech
training programs for business and industry. 

See how our Outreach is making the world a smarter place.

 


WHERE NEW TECHNOLOGIES BECOME BREAKTHROUGH PRODUCTS

The Office of Technology Transfer (OTT) within the FedEx Institute of Technology
is charged with making the UofM’s technological achievements available to the
private sector for the development of commercial products that improve how
business is conducted, how customers are served, and how we all live. Partnering
with Epicenter, the FedEx Institute of Technology has created a program designed
to hire postdoc fellows to start businesses utilizing patented intellectual
property, developed both in Memphis and across the United States, to turn great
ideas into successful companies. Our Patents2Products program offers these
post-doc entrepreneurs a two year funded position, patented intellectual
property and all the tools necessary to launch successful start-ups.
