City of San Jose

The City of San Jose, under the leadership of Mayor Ron Gonzales and the City Council, has invested an initial $6.5 million of redevelopment funds in the San Jose BioCenter and $100 million in the Edenvale Technology Park, to provide the necessary infrastructure for emerging and growing bioscience and technology companies. The BioCenter addresses the market demand in the Bay Area for small increments of suitable space in combination with professional services that ensure faster and more effective early-stage company development. The BioCenter is located alongside Stryker Endoscopy and Clinimetrics, and 290 other technology companies employing over 15,000 people. Local companies include BD Biosciences, IBM Almaden Research Center, Hitachi, Solectron, Intel, Sunrise Telecommunications, Power Integration, Northrop Grumman, Lynux Works, Jabil Circuits, Innovative Robotics, and Photon Dynamics. In addition to the BioCenter, the City has developed and supported the U.S. Market Access Center (former "International Business Incubator"), the Software Business Cluster and the Environmental Business Cluster. The Software Business Cluster itself has attracted $475 million in capital, creating 2,500 jobs, and more than 130 new products.

San Jose State University Research Foundation

The San Jose State University Research Foundation (SJSURF) is the San Jose BioCenter's most prominent academic partner as the fiscal sponsor of the SJBC. The SJSURF operates and manages four business incubators in partnership with the San Jose Redevelopment Agency. The SJSURF manages the incubator facilities, provides world-class business development services, and access to faculty experts and student interns for high-potential, early-stage companies through the Environmental Business Cluster, Software Business Cluster and San Jose BioCenter. San Jose’s incubator program also includes business development services for international companies planning to establish and grow their business in the United States through the fourth incubator, the U.S. Market Access Center. The Redevelopment Agency provides state-of-the-art facilities to house the incubators.
For nearly 75 years, the SJSURF has provided the expertise and business infrastructure enabling University faculty to partner successfully with government agencies, corporations, and foundations to perform cutting-edge research, public service, and other specialized projects that are vital to a community of scholars and to society as a whole. As a private non-profit corporation, the SJSURF manages approximately $69 million per year in research and public service programs directed by SJSU faculty and SJSU-affiliated experts such as the directors of the four business incubators.
