The USA Technology and Research Park (the “Park”), launched in April 2002, is a major economic initiative of the University of South Alabama. It marries University resources with innovative enterprises in a single location that broadens educational experiences for students, generates new research opportunities for faculty and offers growth prospects for industry.

The Park, on 160 acres just north of the main University campus, is a focal point of economic growth for Mobile and the Upper Gulf Coast. The Mobile Area Chamber of Commerce named the University of South Alabama its 2002 “Innovator of the Year” in recognition of the Park’s initiative.

Never before have the academic, private and public sectors shared such a common vision – a vision that recognizes that innovation as the key to economic growth and competitive advantage. Through Park-generated strategic alliances and the alignment of resources and talent, we help industries to thrive and prosper. The Park is your conduit to strategic alliances that will enhance your business in the global marketplace.

The Park is your partner to help develop new inputs and innovative ideas for your business. More than just facilities, the Park is the conduit that connects industry to the specialized knowledge, talent and array of resources required to unlock its innovative potential.

Our mandate is to assist in bringing innovation to market, thereby enhancing the competitive stature of the region’s industrial sector.
