The 1,079 acre park is the largest research park in Florida, the fourth largest in the United States by number of companies (126), and the seventh largest in the United States by number of employees (10,000). The research park is located at the heart of research-driven University of Central Florida’s main campus and through the decades has created a university relationship environment for businesses with a gross regional product of over $3 billion.
