SS&TP: A Gathering of Experts

New Mexico is home to the Sandia Science & Technology Park and major tech companies like Facebook, Intel, and Lockheed Martin, making the state a key part of the science and tech industry

What's so special about Albuquerque's Sandia Science & Technology Park? In a word, the neighbors. Immediately adjacent to the Park are the unparalleled facilities of Sandia National Laboratories and the Air Force Research Laboratory, and the thousands of distinguished scientists, engineers, researchers, and technicians who populate them. What's really special: the companies that reside on the 340 acres of the Park—known as SS&TP— collaborate with these top labs on a broad range of technologies, products, and services. Working daily with world-class scientists and engineers can't be easily duplicated elsewhere. It is the Park’s unique selling proposition.

There is an unequaled synergy between SS&TP businesses and their lab neighbors. Many are strategic suppliers and work with the national laboratories on Cooperative Research and Development Agreements (CRADAs) and licensing agreements. These relationships are extremely beneficial, resulting in numerous product lines from technology transfer and commercialization.
