University-Based Economic Development

Virginia’s University-Based Economic Development (UBED) group provides a point of contact for every public institution to provide businesses with easy access to public college and university resources. UBED's involvement in the Commonwealth’s economic development efforts ensures a direct collaboration between the university, businesses, non-profit organizations, and government.

Each public university and community college has prepared a marketing sheet on their institution for our use. Please follow the links below to access each institution’s marketing sheet.
