What are the benefits of the Virginia Bio-Technology Research Park?
We re not just selling real estate. What makes us unique is our affiliation with Virginia Commonwealth University. Here we have a major research university that in the past decade has added a number of significant initiatives, including a new school of engineering that is not a traditional school of engineering but one focused on industries of the 21st century, like micro-electronics and biotechnology. It s anchored in chemical engineering, mechanical engineering, electrical engineering and bio-medical engineering. The second thing we are selling is what I describe as a scientific community. It s the reason that makes this an exciting and desirable environment. Scientists love to be around other scientists. The third thing is a nurturing and supportive environment. This is especially important for the private sector and early stage companies. We take the attitude that the more I know about your business, the more I can help you to ensure your success.
