The first in a series of breakfast briefings sponsored by:

 
Chester County Keystone Innovation Zone (KIZ)

  
Supporting innovation and technology within emerging
Information Technology and Biotechnology companies.
 

A Keystone Innovation Zone is a statewide program designed to foster and sustain innovation and create entrepreneurial opportunities for small emerging companies within a discrete area or zone.  The Chester County KIZ, which was recently certified by the PA Department of Community and Economic Development, will accomplish this by gathering and aligning resources from educational institutions, private businesses, business support organizations, commercial lending institutions, venture capital networks and foundations.  Some of the benefits of a KIZ program are:

• Eligible to sell tax credits for growth capital.

• Access to resources that support technology transfer and commercialization.

• Opportunities to share expertise in identified industry clusters.

• Participate in mentoring opportunities through partnering companies.

• Ability to establish productive relationships that will help the younger companies grow and become successful.

• Opportunities to be matched with companies with similar areas of expertise.

Please join us to learn more about the Chester County KIZ, meet our state, regional and local partners, and find out more about how the Chester County KIZ can benefit your company!
