About the SIU System Technology & Innovation Expo (TIE)
A common thread that bonds all the researchers and innovators across the SIU System is a desire to make the future a better place. Regardless of their discipline, they seek to improve the delivery of treatments, information, services and learning. Whether in the fields of engineering, medicine, agriculture, energy, sustainability, etc., their collective work seeks to explore and expand their particular field.
The SIU System Technology Innovation Expo is an annual event that showcases some of these extraordinary individuals who are building and creating the future within their discipline. By bringing together the resources of its central and southern Illinois regional university campuses, the expo gives both industry partners and potential investors the opportunity to learn about the inventions and products of its top researchers.
