The
Science and Technology Campus Corporation (Scitech) is
a growing network of new and refurbished buildings on the West Campus
of The Ohio State University. The campus was established for the commercialization
of new technologies and to promote research and development with commercial
applications. The Scitech facilities provide common ground for the interaction
of the tenant corporations with academic and industrial research and development
institutions. The Scitech campus is a center of leading-edge innovation
in applied science and technology, and a source of present and future
economic growth for Ohio, Columbus and The Ohio State University.
As a research park, Scitech links world-class academic
technical expertise with cutting-edge commercial technology-based innovation.
In this way, the campus is able to provide an environment for cooperative
alliances between commercial research and development and corresponding
concentrations of research effort at OSU that would not otherwise be possible.
The focus of Scitech's operations is the commercialization of seed stage
innovations in the life sciences, information technologies, and the physical
sciences.
