The Office of Research recently finalized and made seed grant award offers to five UT Dallas research teams. The seed grants were for anchoring a public presence of their research centers at the Richardson Innovation Quarter, or IQ Headquarters.
The City of Richardson (COR) announced the redevelopment and renovation of the building to house the IQ’s headquarters on April 6. The IQ represents a major economic development initiative for Richardson and the North Texas region. The announcement also describes a long-term partnership between Richardson, the IQ, and UT Dallas to support the IQ initiative.
Dallas is one of the top 10 most innovative cities in the world, and innovation is thriving throughout this metropolitan area. The Richardson Innovation Quarter, known as Richardson IQⓇ, or The IQⓇ for short, is a living laboratory located in the heart of the Dallas metro area. The area was built in early 2020 as a partnership between the University of Texas at Dallas and the City of Richardson. A goal of the project was to better serve enterprise telecommunication and software companies. Richardson IQ is a mixed-use, 1,200 acre area dedicated to forward-thinking companies and entrepreneurs.
