Higher Education Business Resources

More and more, companies seek the benefits of intellectual capital that Virginia's university communities offer. The educational attainment of a workforce, ability to provide an adequate supply of skilled talent, and access to research and technology strengths continue to be deciding factors in many site selection projects.


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.
