VT Corporate Research Center

VT Corporate Research Center Our mission is to create space with purpose where innovators have access to unparalleled resources, partnerships and opportunities for growth.

Born out of a need to translate Virginia Tech research to commercial potential, the Virginia Tech Corporate Research Center (VTCRC) was established in Blacksburg in 1985. Since then, it has been home to over 750 premier organizations with a common goal to disrupt industries. Today, with operations across Virginia, the research park continues to be a destination for growth and a space with purpose.

Every company starts somewhere.

At the Virginia Tech Corporate Research Center, we believe growth shouldn't require starting over. Whether you're a solo entrepreneur, a startup building momentum, or an established company planning your next expansion, we offer space solutions designed to grow with you.

Start with a coworking membership or turnkey office through COgro. Need laboratory space? COgro Labs provides flexible wet and dry lab environments for emerging life science and technology companies. As your team grows, scale into larger office, research, or laboratory space across the VTCRC campus.

And when you're ready for your next chapter, we have development-ready pad sites available for companies looking to build a custom facility and establish a long-term presence within one of Virginia's leading innovation communities.

From a single desk to a dedicated building, VTCRC provides the infrastructure, resources, and connections to support your growth every step of the way.

Where education meets business. Where companies grow.

We're excited to see continued momentum across Virginia's innovation economy.

RINGANA's announcement of an $85 million investment and 435 new jobs in the Roanoke Region highlights the growing strength of Virginia as a destination for life sciences, advanced manufacturing, research, and global investment.

As organizations across the Commonwealth continue to invest in talent, innovation, and commercialization, announcements like this reinforce the opportunities being created for companies, researchers, entrepreneurs, and communities throughout Virginia.

Congratulations to everyone involved in bringing this transformative project to the region.

Artificial Intelligence, particularly Agentic AI, has fundamentally altered software security in a matter of months. AI agents are beginning to outperform humans at discovering and exploiting vulnerabilities, and their scale has contributed to a surge in attacks against the systems we rely on every day.

During this session, Eric will explore why this shift happened so quickly, how Terrace Networks is responding to the emerging AI-driven threat landscape, and what the future of AI may mean for both our professional and personal lives.

A new front door for entrepreneurs is officially open at the Virginia Tech Corporate Research Center.

This week, we celebrated the ribbon cutting of the Entrepreneur Resource Center (ERC) alongside the Montgomery County Virginia Chamber of Commerce, founders, partners, mentors, innovators, and community leaders from across the Commonwealth.

The ERC is designed to help entrepreneurs navigate what comes next through clear pathways, strong connections, and access to the right resources at the right time.

Built on VTCRC’s nearly 40-year legacy of connecting research, talent, and industry, this is another step forward in strengthening the pipeline from idea to startup to scale.

Thank you to our partners at Virginia Tech Innovation and Partnerships, GO Virginia Region 2, VIPC, and to Tracy Wilkins and an anonymous donor for helping bring this vision to life.

This is just the beginning, and we’re excited for what’s next.
