NU Technology Park
warms to businesses
PARK from pagel
research and student internships with
blossoming new businesses, he said.
Although there are about 145
technology business incubators in the
United States and Canada, the NU
technology-based incubator will be
the first in Nebraska, he said.
The incubator’s technology
emphasis means only businesses
based in cutting-edge technology
practices and research will be accept
ed. A business incubator without a
technology requirement exists in
north Omaha, Henderson said.
Don Helmuth, UNL associate
vice chancellor for research, said the
incubator will open with 82 percent
occupancy, which far exceeds the
university’s 60 percent goal.
Helmuth said about 2,100 square
feet remaining in the building is still
available to young companies need
ing chemistry-lab-type equipment.
As businesses in the incubator
grow, they can expand to one of 24
building sites in the technology park,
each consisting of about 1 million
square feet of space, he said. The
incubator can also expand to 60,000
square feet.
Helmuth said he hopes the tech
nctfogy park businesses will grow,
and employ students as interns and
former students as full-time employ
ees.
Henderson said he’s working to
establish with the incubator’s first
seven businesses an internship pro
gram that will “take them out of the
theory-learning process of the class
room, and put them into a real-life
practical work experience.”
In his experience with other incu
bators, Henderson found “a lot of stu
dents get hired by these companies
they’ve been interning with,” he said.
Maruflu said he also plans to hire
students as employees of Xodiac Inc.
This fall, he needs to hire a new
graphic designer and two salesmen,
he said, and he wants UNL students
or graduates to fill the positions,
either as interns or full-time employ
ees.
“I really like working with stu
dents,” Maruflu said. After all, he is a
student and knows what they’re capa
ble of achieving.
And he will hire even more UNL
students and graduates as his busi
ness, which he hopes will expand into
a larger spot in the technology park
and just five minutes from campus,
he said.
