Innovation Campus

South Dakota's hub for research, innovation, learning and collaboration - a driver for knowledge-based economic development

The South Dakota State University Innovation Campus is the first research park to be developed in the state of South Dakota. Sited on 125 acres, the Innovation Campus is directly connected to Interstate 29, Highway 14, and located right next door to South Dakota's largest research university, South Dakota State University.

The SDSU Innovation Campus is designed to provide flexible space in a professionally landscaped and designed environment; a conduit for public private partnerships; a place where people and ideas come together to combine the experience of university, business, industry, and government; and an environment that uses innovation and critical thinking to generate new ideas and promote research, discovery, and technological advancements. The SDSU Innovation Campus is home to expanded university research, entrepreneurialism, incubation, research, and business mentoring - providing opportunities to keep our best and brightest in South Dakota.

The SDSU Innovation Campus is the product of the SDSU Growth Partnership, a 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation whose partners include Brookings County, the City of Brookings, Brookings Economic Development Corporation, South Dakota State University, the SDSU Foundation and a State Representative.
