MURRIETA INNOVATION CENTER: EMPOWERING IDEAS, INSPIRING INNOVATION

Business Spotlights

THE MIC

• Serves the entrepreneurial and startup community in the region

• Focused on attracting and incubating new biotech industries and life science startups to the city

• Creates an ecosystem for entrepreneurship

• Housed in the former Murrieta City Hall at 26442 Beckman Court

The MIC has nine biotech startups operating out of the center. In the future, Murrieta could absorb approximately 182,000 square feet of biotech space with the need for an additional 400,000 square feet over the next 10 years. The City’s Economic Development Department is working diligently to attract this type of development, generating revenues that benefit Murrieta.

Hub For Biotech Innovation

Six major medical centers within a 10-mile radius, including Kaiser Permanente, Loma Linda University Medical Center and Southwest Healthcare Systems. These medical centers are easily accessible to top talent from the Los Angeles, Orange County & San Diego markets.

Opportunity to connect with investors through events: “Night of Innovation,” Riverside County Innovation Month, and Silicon Valley Connection Trip.

Amenities include flexible office and conference space, in-house management and partnerships with industry associations.

The U.S. Department of Commerce Economic Development Agency recognized the MIC with a $2.4 million grant for renovating and remodeling the 13,000-square-foot building. Construction is tentatively scheduled to be completed in early 2025.
