The University of Arizona’s Biosphere 2 has added a new function — that of tech business incubator.

The laboratory held a ribbon-cutting ceremony Tuesday to welcome four renewable energy and sustainable tech startups.

David Vili founded one of the three startups, and he said his first trip to Biosphere 2 was as a tourist.
