The Purdue Technology Centers of West Lafayette anchor the 725-acre, award-winning Purdue Research Park. Located just north of Purdue University’s main campus, the research park is home to more than 160 companies. Approximately 100 of these firms are technology-related, creating the greatest cluster of these types of ventures in the state of Indiana.

Under development by Purdue Research Foundation, a private, nonprofit foundation created to assist Purdue, the Purdue Technology Centers of West Lafayette are considered to be among the largest university-affiliated, business incubation complexes in the country. The centers are comprised of four complementary facilities totaling 364,000 square feet.

Incubation and graduation facilities:

• Kurz Purdue Technology Center
• Purdue Technology Center
• Business and Technology Center
• Vistech 1 (privately funded)
• International Technology Center (privately funded)
• Pritsker Building (privately funded)
• Ross Enterprise Center

Since 1999, the center’s incubation program has graduated 38 companies, of which 27 have remained in the West Lafayette-based Purdue Research Park.

Many of the innovations that emerge from the groundbreaking, interdisciplinary research underway at Purdue’s Discovery Park will find their “business legs” at the Purdue Technology Centers of West Lafayette. Its success has not only attracted start-up companies based upon Purdue technologies, but also technologies from local entrepreneurs and those beyond Indiana’s borders.
