Gov. Jan Brewer presided over a ribbon-cutting ceremony at the UA’s Science and Technology Park, which marked the re-opening and dedication of the Arizona Center for Innovation, a business support center specializing in technological developments on Wednesday.
“This is an investment that will bring novel technologies to the marketplace, create high-wage jobs and expand and diversify the economy of southern Arizona,” Brewer said.
The center received a $1.5 million state grant in 2010. Since then, the center has redesigned its methods of fostering small-business development. As a member of the National Business Incubation Association, the Arizona Center for Innovation now offers assistance to clients around the clock and provides them with up-to-date digital content. The center has also published a manual for entrepreneurs called “Incubation Workbook: Navigating Innovation from Concept to Commercialization.”
