These “technology neighborhoods” are designed to spur collaborative efforts and encourage the rapid transfer of discoveries from the laboratory to the marketplace. Enhanced financial incentives are available to eligible technology and life sciences businesses locating in these zones. Companies within the zones will benefit from enhanced partnership opportunities through the state, coordinated by the CST.

Each Innovation Zone is anchored with an existing or planned state-of-the-art technology center, offering companies opportunities to lease office, wet and dry laboratory, and production space at attractive rents.

Innovation Zone companies are eligible for a variety of funding programs and exclusive zone incentives offered by the New Jersey Economic Development Authority (EDA) and the New Jersey Commission on Science and Technology (CST).
