Just on the outskirts of the UConn campus in Storrs sits the UConn Tech Park, a center for cutting-edge research, collaboration, and innovation.
“The Tech Park is a really amazing initiative that the state and university funded to act as a kind of front door for industry into the services that are available at the university,” said Michael DiDonato, business development manager for the Innovation Partnership Building.
The Innovation Partnership Building is the first and flagship building of the Tech Park.
The facility features 19 centers focused on four pillars: sustainability, defense materials, cybersecurity, and systems manufacturing.
The goal of the Tech Park is to connect businesses with their research facilities and technology services.
