Innovation Center
The University of Arkansas Innovation Center provides an environment that promotes specialized skill-training, education, research and technical support. Moreover, the Innovation Center provides office and laboratory space for technology-intensive companies, especially those graduating from the GENESIS Technology Incubator, to co-locate with university faculty creating a highly interactive culture necessary for innovation. The Innovation Center will be the catalyst for the formation of a collaborative community of companies and faculty, linked interdependently in research and development focused on the following core competencies:

• Health—chronic disease, health care delivery, health and wellness and health policy
• Nanotechnology—nanomaterials, nanolubricants, drug delivery systems and nano-circuits
• Energy and the Environment—power devices, petroleum, photovoltaics, biomass, green initiatives and environmental policy
• Food Science and Safety—food safety, food quality, nutrition and food policy
• Supply Chain, Retail and Transportation—supply chain, distribution, logistics and multi-modal transportation

The Innovation Center also serves as the home office of the University of Arkansas Technology Development Foundation, a university-affiliated non-profit foundation that manages the ARTP and provides essential technology transfer functions to corporate partners.

The Innovation Center was the first LEED Certified building in the state of Arkansas.
