What started as a research project in a campus lab is now helping utility companies across the country keep the power on when it matters most.

StormImpact, a weather analytics company founded by researchers at The Ohio State University, was recently acquired by Urbint, a national leader in AI-driven solutions for infrastructure resilience. The acquisition reflects a growing movement at Ohio State, where faculty research is increasingly finding its way beyond the university and into tools, technologies and companies that improve lives on a broad scale.
