Best known as the "Capital of the Midwest," the Chicago metropolitan area offers an open climate that promotes business development and allows companies to thrive. Chicago and Illinois also offer a fantastic quality of life, and the Illinois Science + Technology Park is right in the heart of it. The Park is just 30 minutes from downtown Chicago and its great nightlife, fabulous culture, and breathtaking architecture. Illinois offers a large and well-educated scientific work force, a supportive state government, and a growing venture capital community to help companies develop and expand.
Illinois has attracted the attention of the life science industry nationally because of its strong and growing base in the agricultural biotech, food science, and pharmaceutical industries. Greater Chicago also has major research institutions with a high level of federal research funding, one of the nation's largest medical communities, and an emerging cluster of biosciences, nanotechnology, and medical devices. The Illinois Science + Technology Park will become the hub location to support these cutting-edge technologies.
