Through our extensive research capabilities, we strive to bridge the gap between theory and real-world applications. The Axia Institute research builds on MSU’s strong interdisciplinary capabilities by linking faculty from some of the top academic programs and other leaders in the field. Researchers collaborate with undergraduate and graduate students, postdoctoral researchers, and corporate sponsors to develop and apply new knowledge that will improve all types of public and private value chains. The Axia Institute is also in the process of expanding its research groups to include experts from other universities and institutes.
