Our Sustainability

Chartered in 1983 by the State of South Carolina as a public, nonprofit corporation, SCRA fuels South Carolina’s innovation economy through the impact of its four programs. SC Academic Innovations provides funding and support to advance translational research and accelerate the growth of university-based startups. SC Facilities offers high-quality laboratory and administrative workspaces for technology-based startups and academic institutions. SC Industry Solutions facilitates and funds partnerships between and among startups, industry, academia, and the relocation of technology-based companies into the state. SC Launch mentors and funds technology-based startups that may also receive investments from SCRA’s investment affiliate, SC Launch Inc.

Sustainability is achieved through exemplary stewardship and our revenue streams that include:

  • Contributions to the Industry Partnership Fund (IPF).
  • Tenant leases in SCRA’s innovation centers and other facilities.
  • Returns from investments in high-growth technology startups.
