	Keystone Innovation Zone Strategic Partners & Other KIZ's in PA Market Assessment of Entrepreneurship & Early Stage Companies [PDF file] KIZ Tax Credit Guidelines [PDF file] KIZ Map [PDF file] Innovation Transfer Network Awards $127,000 in Grants [PDF file] The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania launched an initiative entitled Keystone Innovation Zones (KIZs) as part of Governor Rendell's stimulus package (www.newpa.com). Keystone Innovation Zones are designated zones that may be established in communities that host institutions of higher education – colleges, universities, and associate degree technical schools. These zones are designed to foster innovation and create entrepreneurial opportunities. They do this by gathering and aligning the combined resources of educational institutions, private businesses, business support organizations, commercial lending institutions, venture capital networks (including angel investors), and foundations (KIZ partners) In other words, where a partnership of these organizations is formed, a KIZ is possible. In 2004, the JSID was formally awarded a KIZ and designated the Lancaster KIZ Coordinator. For more information about the JSID's KIZ initiative, please contact Lisa Riggs at 394-0783 or at lisariggs@comcast.net.
