Research Park at Sdsu

The sole purpose in creating and developing the Research Park is to grow Research in the state of south dakota. It will benefit the scientific and educational programs of Sdsu. This is accomplished by supporting efforts to apply learning and Research to create economic opportunities. The Research Park through the brookings innovation center provides start-up businesses with access to seasoned entrepreneurs. The resident entrepreneurs include organizations such as copyright and trademark attorneys; a full time cpa; proof of concept funds - angel funds - venture capital funds; and access to business plans, marketing plans and financial projections. This past year the brookings innovation center and Research Park staff continued to assist university, community, and regional startups. The team also works with industry partners in locating into the Research Park. The Research Park board completed the construction of a 44,000 square foot Research bio center. It includes multiple labs and a large pilot scale space.
