Get in touch with your previous students, both those in academia, and those in industry.
If they're in academia, ask about their industry connections. If they're in industry, ask if they can help you. If you can't get direct contacts, at least find out what skills and knowledge is being looked for, and what options exist.
It's very easy to forget the power of an 'alumni' network. Who we know is often our greatest asset.
