The Research Cluster

Illinois' leading group of research universities and federal labs provide a rich and diverse life science discovery platform for creation of new companies and technologies, ranging from nanotechnology, to biofuels, to agricultural biotech, to new drugs and devices. It is no coincidence that pharmaceutical, food science, diagnostic and medical device world leaders locate here. Illinois is one of only three states in the nation with a large employment base in three of the four major bioscience sectors - and is #1 in manufacturing for both medical devices and food.

The opening of the Illinois Science + Technology Park significantly increases the existing supply of state-of-the-art research space available for lease in Illinois, and provides crucial real estate infrastructure that will allow companies to move in and begin work immediately.
