The Virginia Tech Corporate Research Center (VTCRC) has been home to over 750 premier organizations since 1985. As the park continues to grow in Blacksburg, VA, so does our enterprise.

Located in the cradle of STEM, TCRP includes a vibrant, urban marketplace, walkable streets, onsite luxury housing and new public spaces. The 100-acre mixed use development is adjacent to the world-renowned Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility (Jefferson Lab), NASA Langley Research Center and Langley Air Force Base.
The park works with businesses and startups of all stages that need support coming to life or expanding their footprint.
