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 of this partnership is the creation of
a knowledge-based economy in the region.

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