University of Wyoming

The University of Wyoming operates IMPACT 307, a structured incubator supporting technology startup formation and growth. The programme sits within the institution's broader research and engagement function, which connects learning and applied work with the needs of Wyoming's communities as part of its land-grant mission. The university's stated remit spans the state's people, lands and economic future.

Founded in 1886 - it began welcoming students in 1887, while Wyoming was still a territory - the university is the state's public land-grant institution, based in Laramie and serving the Rocky Mountain region. It educates more than 12,000 students through a broad range of degree programmes supported by faculty and research facilities, with an emphasis on hands-on learning and collaboration across disciplines.

Alongside teaching, the institution maintains research, outreach and cultural resources, and covers sectors including higher education, research, community engagement, athletics and student life. Its stated priorities include access to high-quality education, student success and meaningful partnerships.
