Welcome to the
Future of Innovation
in South Florida

Being part of the Research Park at FAU was an absolute game-changer for ModMed! When we first moved in, we were just a small team tucked into a corner of a 50,000 sq ft building. Fast forward a few years, and we ended up taking over the whole space. It was like watching our little startup grow into a full-fledged family.
FAU treated us like one of their own, and that made all the difference. We loved hitting the fitness center after a long day and grabbing meals at the faculty club where we could chat with professors and students. Sporting events? Count us in! Cheering on teams together really made us feel connected to the community.
Being nestled in such a vibrant research park meant we had access to some incredible talent right at our doorstep. The buzz around campus helped spread the word about ModMed, and we couldn’t have asked for a better spot to build our brand. Plus, once the I-95 interchange at Spanish River was set up, getting to and from work became a breeze for our team.
Leaving the Research Park was bittersweet—we outgrew the space, but the memories and connections we made there will always hold a special place in our hearts. Thanks to FAU and the Research Park community, ModMed soared to new heights. It truly was an amazing experience.

ATG has been a proud member of the Research Park at Florida Atlantic since 2011. The Park has been instrumental in developing a great relationship with FAU, leading to many internships and talented hires. The Research Park team are always quick to provide support when requested and proactively offer opportunities for our business and engage our team members.

Around 10 years ago I had an idea that I could not ignore: what if we did to air conditioning what LEDs did to incandescent lightbulbs? Soon after, through partnering, discovery, and luck, I had in my hands the technology to do just that. So, I became an entrepreneur and found myself in the wilderness of uncharted territory. Luckily, for people like me there is the Research Park at FAU. A mangrove forest for entrepreneurship and bold ideas, where I could form a team, meet with partners, and give shape to the nascent company. Today Blue Frontier is pointing towards world domination, but it all started in a small office at the Research Park at FAU.

DECORA was incredibly fortunate to discover the Research Park at Florida Atlantic when we first landed in the United States from Brazil 10 years ago, in 2015. Although we had an established business in Brazil, entering the American market was a daunting challenge. We had no experience in this new market and no connections to guide us.
The Research Park at Florida Atlantic was instrumental in helping us bridge that gap. Through its extensive network of partners, the Park introduced us to key connections that eventually led to clients. Being part of Global Ventures gave us much more than a physical space to operate. It aligned us with the prestige and credibility of a reputable university and its strong Research Park. Instead of being perceived as an unknown company entering the U.S. from abroad, we were now seen as part of an ecosystem recognized for innovation and excellence.
The Research Park at Florida Atlantic provided the perfect “landing pad” for DECORA. It allowed us to refine our offerings for the U.S. market, connect with industry leaders, and navigate the formal processes of incorporating in the United States.
We are deeply grateful for the opportunities and support the The Research Park at Florida Atlantic provided at such a pivotal moment in our journey. Congratulations on 40 years of fostering innovation and helping companies like ours thrive!
