Research Park at Florida Atlantic University
|
The Research Park at Florida Atlantic University is a science, research and technology development research park in Boca Raton and Deerfield Beach, Florida affiliated to Florida Atlantic University and other institutions of higher education in Florida. The Palm Beach and Broward county commissions created the Florida Atlantic Research and Development Authority (FARDA) in 1985 to create and sustain research parks in the two counties. The Research Park at Florida Atlantic University, with campuses in Deerfield Beach and Boca Raton, exists to provide a supportive environment in which companies engaged in the research and development of new and innovative products can thrive. Many of the resources necessary for the success of the Research Park's tenants can be found in its neighbor, Florida Atlantic University. The Research Park at Florida Atlantic University is the only state university affiliated research park in South Florida, and is home to 20 high tech, high wage companies. In addition, the Research Park operates the Technology Business Incubator (TBI), which is home to the New World Angels, a structured angel investor group, and the Institute for the Commercialization of Public Research, a clearing house for Florida's technology transfer offices and other publicly funded research institutes.
