UA Research Park’s Enterprise Center to Be Dedicated Oct. 21
The UA research park's Enterprise Center will be dedicated Oct. 21. Three IA clients are set to move in soon.
The tech-based startup community in Northwest Arkansas is getting the equivalent to prestigious high-rise condos.
The University of Arkansas Research and Technology Park in Fayetteville will officially dedicate its new Enterprise Center on Thursday, Oct. 21. The exterior for this new, state-of-the-art incubator space was completed in February. The interior is being finished up and tweaked to accommodate the first tenants (each an IA client) — NN-Labs, NanoMech and Arkansas Power Electronics.
NN-Labs will occupy 2,600 square-feet of lab space; NanoMech will house its administrative headquarters in its 4,778 SF of office space, and APEI‘s space will consist of a manufacturing line and two Class 1000 cleanrooms (special space used in manfacturing where the amount of environmental pollutants is tightly controlled).
Funding for the center came from several sources, including federal grants and lots of help from the Arkansas Economic Development Commission.
The Enterprise Center is located at 534 W. Research Center Blvd. within the park, just across the street from the UA’s Innovation Center. The dedication ceremony is scheduled for 1 p.m., and special guests will include Chancellor David Gearhart and AEDC Director Maria Haley. IA’s own Techpreneur himself, Jeff Amerine, will be there as well. (He merely has to walk out the door of his building, after all.)
INOV8 will be there as well, taking pictures and getting in on the refreshments and free tours, which are open to the public, by the way. We may even try to talk to some folks as well, and report back here. We’ll see just how distracted we are by the cookies.
