Build the Future For Roanoke

A collaborative community creating opportunity and success

Spearheaded by the Roanoke Department of Economic Development, Roanoke Innovates is a collaborative community of entrepreneurs, businesses, government agencies, and higher education professionals working to create opportunity and success in research, healthcare, and technology. And it’s all located in a Virginia mountain metropolis with opportunity to grow.

Our city leaders have committed to a vision of the future that harnesses the unique advantages of our region and as a result, Roanoke’s Innovation Corridor has experienced remarkable growth. Roanoke, Virginia has attracted thousands of top researchers, physicians, faculty, students, and medical professionals motivated by the opportunity to make meaningful discoveries that broaden our knowledge of clinical care and biomedical science.

Unlimited Growth with Strong Roots

Our multimillion-dollar biomedical and tech hub is found inside a mid-sized city of 100,000 people. That means that in the Roanoke Innovation Corridor you have access to unprecedented opportunities inside an established community where you can make a meaningful contribution to the exciting growth still on the horizon. 

Whether you’re a researcher, entrepreneur, developer, or investor, you’ll find that Roanoke is the perfect place to put down roots and grow to new heights.
