About the Corridor

Minutes away from high-tech resources

The Technology Corridor's proximity to the University of Iowa, Kirkwood Community College and other public and private educational institutions provides area businesses with the education, training, research and development support necessary to innovate change.

Dynamic tech-based companies like Rockwell Collins, ACT, Integrated DNA Technologies and Genencor International with operations in the Corridor have made the region a "high-tech prairie powerhouse" according to California's Milken Institute.

In addition to the synergies with existing companies, new and expanding businesses can look forward to having abundant energy, public utilities, telecommunications infrastructure, transportation and a talented, quality workforce.
