The University of Connecticut announced today the opening of a data science technology incubator in Stamford, the state\u2019s fastest growing city. The 5,685 square-foot facility at 9 West Broad Street adds to UConn\u2019s existing Technology Incubation Program (TIP)<\/a> locations on the main campus in Storrs and at UConn Health in Farmington.<\/p>\n

UConn TIP is the largest and most active incubator in the state and has seen remarkable growth over the past several years. In 2020, incubated companies raised nearly $463 million and have been responsible for the creation of 208 high-paying jobs.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are focused on attracting, supporting, and growing early- to mid-stage startup companies in any data science related field, through the creation of a robust entrepreneurial ecosystem connected to the world-class research capabilities at UConn,\u201d says Radenka Maric, UConn\u2019s vice president for research, innovation and entrepreneurship. \u201cThanks to the vibrancy of the business community in Stamford and UConn\u2019s strengths in data science and innovation, we\u2019re confident that TIP Stamford will become an engine for new company and job creation.\u201d<\/p>\n

Just as at TIP\u2019s other locations, the Stamford-based startups who are accepted into the incubator have access to offices and shared work areas, UConn\u2019s research infrastructure, faculty experts, student talent, business mentoring, networking, and other benefits that help high potential companies grow.<\/p>\n

Five startups will be joining TIP Stamford as it opens its doors, with plenty of COVID-19 safety regulations in place to keep everyone safe. Companies accepted into TIP at any location can be based on UConn technology, or are external ventures that could benefit from access to UConn\u2019s research enterprise.<\/p>\n
