About
The City of Richardson and The University of Texas at Dallas have teamed up on a powerful economic development initiative by partnering on a new Headquarters for the Richardson Innovation Quarter (the IQ HQ).

- Entrepreneurs launch startups
- The public engages with top-ranked academic and skill-building programs
- Industry and academia come together to spark collaboration as well as drive innovation and research
Memberships

The VDC @ UTD Catalyst accepts high-potential applicants that have a novel product or service that is scalable, addresses a clear market opportunity, and gives the company a sustainable competitive advantage. We focus on supporting the entrepreneurial, early- to mid-stage activities of true startup companies. The selection committee reviews applications and interviews companies to assure that they meet the standards for high-impact science, promising execution, and equally important, fit. Startups must show a willingness and capacity to operate within the VDC-shared community
*Note – At least one team member must be a current student, faculty, staff, or an alumnus/a of any University of Texas System school.
