| Keystone Innovation Zone
Keystone Innovation Zones (KIZs) 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 zone is possible.
The York County KIZ was developed to enhance technology growth in three hubs within York County including the York City Business and Industry Park. The York County KIZ currently contains 9 qualified companies.
