Innovation Starts Here
If innovation has a single brick-and-mortar symbol in Florida, then the newly opened campus of Scripps Florida in Jupiter would be it. Almost from the moment in October 2003 that the La Jolla, Calif.-based research institute announced its intention to establish a facility in Florida, the move to build an innovation economy for the 21st century took off.

First came Scripps in Jupiter. Then its California neighbor, Torrey Pines Institute for Molecular Studies, announced that it would build its East Coast headquarters at Port St. Lucie. Pretty soon, a “medical city,” anchored by Burnham Institute for Medical Research and the new University of Central Florida College of Medicine, began to take shape at Lake Nona in southeast Orlando.

Meanwhile, on Florida’s west coast, where the H. Lee Moffitt Cancer Center & Research Institute in Tampa had already established a reputation for ground-breaking discoveries, SRI International, another California company, was making plans to open a marine technology research facility alongside the University of South Florida in St. Petersburg.

A WORD From the publisher

Lynda KeeverThe year 2003 was a turning point of sorts for research in Florida. In June that year, Florida Trend published its first edition of Research Florida, a compilation of stories about the medical and technological achievements from research universities across the state. Four months later, in October 2003, The Scripps Research Institute of La Jolla, Calif., announced its intention to open an East Coast branch in Jupiter on Florida’s east coast. These two developments, which seemed only marginally connected six years ago, helped launch a statewide movement.
