Tech Parks Arizona is launching a two-year program to expand the UA Tech Park at Rita Road. The goal is to further develop our "community of innovation" - a live, learn, work and play environment that is attractive to technology companies and their employees. Major components of this expansion effort will include residential, retail, commercial, and hotel projects. We are also working towards vertical development at the UA Tech Park at the Bridges. The center piece of this initiative is the Innovation Building, a multi-tenant research and development facility that will serve as the hub of the University's technology innovation and commercialization program.

UA Startup Bubbles Up from Research
University startup company GlycoSurf has finalized an exclusive license agreement for a novel chemical synthesis of glycolipids technology. GlycoSurf took full advantage of the services offered by Tech Launch Arizona (TLA) throughout the commercialization process. They worked with TLA developing their product strategy, using proof-of-concept funding to prepare their early-stage technology for market. To bridge the gap between proof-of-concept and developing a business, GlycoSurf worked on its business strategy with the Arizona Center for Innovation, which provided the hands-on business development assistance that new ventures need to start and grow successfully.
