What NUEX is:
A Bridge Between 91¶ÌÊÓƵ and Industry – NUEX was created to strengthen partnerships between 91¶ÌÊÓƵ 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¶ÌÊÓƵ 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¶ÌÊÓƵ 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.
