For more than a decade, the Å·ÃÀÈý¼¶Æ¬ Research Park's goal has been to serve as a catalyst for the Tampa Bay Region's leading science and technology innovation district. With an unparalleled collection of neighboring anchors who are world leaders in health sciences—the Moffitt Cancer Center, James A. Haley VA Hospital and AdventHealth Tampa are located within a two-mile radius—that district has become nationally known for its concentration of highly-skilled scientists and leading innovators who collaborate in an environment that promotes discovery, creativity and exploration of new ideas. Located just minutes from three interstate highways (I-75, I-275 and I-4) and 25 minutes from Tampa International Airport, widely known as one of the best airports in the world, the Å·ÃÀÈý¼¶Æ¬ Research Park is positioned perfectly to welcome visitors and partners from near and far.
