Our region is fortunate to have strong, dynamic technology and economic development expertise that helps to commercialize university research, fuel the process for green-lighting start-up companies and grow industry clusters.

The organization’s seed-fund companies raised $218 million in funding last year and all of its supported companies raised a total of more than $1 billion in annual revenue.

Local startups should only expect the flow of funding coming to the region to increase. The news is remarkable in terms of revenues alone, but these companies are making international news while driving the engine of growth in the region.
