Carnegie Mellon University (CMU)
The genesis of our technology resides at the innovative halls of Carnegie Mellon University, a global research university of more than 10,000 students, 70,000 alumni and 4,000 faculty and staff.
While we transferred the original technology from the academic environment and commercialized it for the business world, we continue to have a wonderful working relationship with CMU. We often bounce ideas off the brilliant minds of its staff and pleased to license technologies from one of the world’s finest universities.
