About Us
The Harriman Research and Technology Development Corporation, a subsidiary of Empire State Development Corporation and created in June 2004, is dedicated to transforming Albany’s 300-acre W.A. Harriman State Office Campus into a world-class Research and Technology Park and regional growth engine for New York State’s “Innovation Economy”.
In April 2002, it was announced that the Harriman Research and Technology Park would create state-of-the-art research and office facilities that will serve as a catalyst for innovation in science and technology. The Park will utilize both public and private sector investment to foster the development of cutting-edge technologies and new products, create high-quality jobs, stimulate investment and economic growth, expand the local real property tax base and encourage technology transfer and commercialization.
These objectives will be achieved by capitalizing on the unique assets of New York’s Capital Region, the substantial existing infrastructure at the Harriman Campus and a collaborative partnership that will join businesses, entrepreneurs and state and local government with the faculty, students and research facilities at the University at Albany.
