About Delaware County Keystone Innovation Zone
The Delaware County Keystone Innovation Zone is coordinated by University
Technology Park. In 1999, Crozer-Keystone Health System and Widener
University began a public/private partnership for Economic Development in
the City of Chester by creating University Technology Park. The genesis

businesses, business support organizations, commercial lending institutions,
venture capital networks (including angel investors) and foundations.
