The Delaware Technology Park (DTP) is a recognized leading East Coast non-profit research park, providing development-stage life science, information technology, advanced materials, and renewable energy companies with access to the resources and connections needed to drive and accelerate their economic success.

DTP welcomed its first company in 1992. Since its inception, DTP has impacted 100s’ of companies that have benefited from nearly $1 Billion in grants and investments. DTP has helped create more than 16,000 new jobs in the community.

The tremendous success of DTP is possible because of its strategic alignment with the State, the University of Delaware, and the private sector, and it is successfully using this partnership model that has won DTP national recognition. In 2005, the Association of University Research Parks (AURP) recognized DTP as the Outstanding Research/Science Park of the Year.

Overview

The DTP facility houses five buildings, three multi-tenant buildings owned and operated by DTP, and now, two buildings are owned and operated by UD, the Delaware Biotechnology Institute and the Fraunhofer USA Center for Molecular Biotechnology. DTP has a laboratory extension called DTP@STAR on UD’s STAR Campus. DTP offers cutting-edge physical infrastructure, including wet labs, office space, conference facilities and a park-wide fiber optic network, to meet the varying needs of its companies and organizations.

 

DTP management selects the best and the brightest to set up operations in the Park. Admittance is based on technology and business focus, financial status and leadership capability. The companies must express a desire to be near University of Delaware resources and contribute and benefit from a shared cluster environment.

The mission of the Delaware Technology Park is to stimulate economic growth and create high-value jobs in the Mid-Atlantic region by providing affordable state-of-the-art facilities, access to necessary resources and connections to the region’s industry, government and academic leaders.
