Ann Arbor SPARK established the Michigan Life Science Innovation Center (MLSIC) in 2008, the region's first collaborative life sciences incubator. Since its opening, MLSIC has incubated 15 companies, which have created 92 jobs and attracted more than $75 million in investment in southeast Michigan.
November, 2012, Ann Arbor SPARK transferred ownership of the Michigan Life Science and Innovation Center to the Michigan Economic Development Corporation (MEDC) and laid a solid foundation for the MEDC to follow as it assumes ownership of the facility. MEDC will continue to support life science companies through business acceleration and attraction.
Ann Arbor SPARK's focus is on its regional incubator network and opportunities to collaborate with other private incubators within Washtenaw County, as well as with the University of Michigan's Venture Accelerator. Ann Arbor SPARK strongly supports efforts to support life science and biotech companies in the region and will continue to offer programs with the state and other partners, including U-M and MichBio, that support entrepreneurs.

Over the years, the Park's incubator facilities have been the start-up locations to more than 250 companies, with more than 120 still flourishing as independent entities in the Research Triangle area. Harvesting innovation on flexible, cost-efficient terms
Park Research Center (PRC) is an example of redevelopment in RTP that caters to evolving R&D space needs and brings the region's intellectual property from bench to market. Originally the home of the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, PRC is an aggressively priced, competitive choice for start-up space in the Park. The thirteen buildings on the campus offer both office and lab space for lease on flexible, cost-efficient terms.
Owned by the Research Triangle Foundation through its subsidiary, the Triangle Service Center, the PRC incubator is another way to encourage university-related activity in the Park and to provide a home for young companies emerging from university research.
One of the oldest and largest science parks in North America, The Research Triangle Park (RTP) is a 7,000 acre development that is home to more than 170 companies employing over 39,000 full-time knowledge workers. Located at the core of the Raleigh-Durham-Cary CSA (Combined Statistical Area), RTP is a globally prominent high-technology research and development center that serves as an economic driver for the region.
RTP is home to a broad spectrum of companies -- from Fortune 100 multinational research and development operations, to university spin-outs and start-up operations. In addition, a number of U.S. federal agencies have a presence in the Park.
Of the several hundred research and science parks operating in the United States today, RTP is the oldest continuously operating one, ranked among the largest and successfully growing parks globally.
RTP has been and continues to be a model for innovation, education, and economic development that has been applied around the world. It is home to winners of the Nobel and Pulitzer prizes, as well as recipients of the U.S. Presidential Award and National Science Foundation Awards. Some of the most profound discoveries of recent have been influenced by scientists and researchers working in RTP, including the invention of the Universal Product Code (UPC) and 3D ultrasound technology.
