Tech Corridor have made signiicant contributions in the areas of research and
development, encouraging a lasting impact on our economy.
In 2015, UF received more than $700 million in research awards, surpassing the
previous record set in iscal year 2014 by more than $5 million. This included a
record $102 million in funding from industry, an increase of more than 40 percent
over the previous year. UF is consistently ranked as a leading public university,
and these research dollars are a major contributing factor.
One such research project is the Multi-functional Integrated System Technology
(MIST) Center which will play a pivotal role in researching the next generation of
“smart” electronics. With a partner site at the University of Central Florida, the
MIST Center will help power the “Internet of Things” as our society continues to
push toward connectivity. Another example of innovation is HiPerGator 2.0, the
third-fastest university supercomputer in the country and a piece of machinery
capable of storing more information than all the books in the Library of Congress
and the nation’s top 25 public libraries (including the New York Public Library)
combined.
As UF continues to innovate and create groundbreaking technologies in tandem
with our Corridor partners, our region stands poised to grow as a leading high
tech hub. I look forward to being a part of the promising future that lies ahead.
Cordially yours,
Dr. W. Kent Fuchs
