What NUEX is:
A Bridge Between Weber State University and Industry – NUEX was created to strengthen partnerships between 91·çÁ÷ and various industries, particularly in northern Utah.
Industry-Driven – The event was designed for industry leaders to communicate their needs. Weber State is here to listen, understand and support.
A Collaborative Forum – NUEX brings Weber State subject matter experts from across campus to engage with industry professionals in a meaningful and impactful way.
A Tool for Strengthening Industry/University Relationships – NUEX will help position 91·çÁ÷ as an ally to industry partners across northern Utah, reinforcing the university’s role in workforce development.
What NUEX isn't:
A One-Sided Event – This is not a traditional conference where 91·çÁ÷ presents information to industry. Instead, the focus is on listening to industry leaders and working together to understand problems and begin to develop solutions.
Your Typical Academic Event – NUEX is about shaping education to better align with industry needs, fostering collaboration beyond a single event or discussion.
A Passive Initiative – This is a discovery-oriented event, designed to generate actionable outcomes and partnerships rather than just discussions.
Limited to One Industry or Organization – NUEX is a cross-industry and university-wide initiative, not confined to any single industry. Every organization will have the opportunity to discover.
A One-Time Event – NUEX is built to create ongoing partnership with the goal of fostering continuous collaboration between industry and academia. NUEX is the start of a longer conversation.
