Empowering institutions to lead transformative change

"The work we have done with UIIN has been instrumental in establishing our Strategic Partnering Initiative to develop our partnering ecosystem and mindset. We have found the expertise and guidance provided by UIIN highly valuable, and look forward to continuing to work with the team as we implement our initiative."

Associate Director, Australian National University

"In creating the future strategy and key areas of sustainable entrepreneurship for [our alliance], we engaged UIIN to support us. UIIN had excellent tools & methodologies for interactive work during the workshops and a good reporting system to summarize the results. This helped us to work very effectively and get the cornerstones in developing the Alliance strategy […]. We were very satisfied with the work they did with us.”
