ONLY $6 MILLION MORE will make the $436-million SciTech Scity a reality!

SciTech Scity is a business optimizer, a new breed of innovation campus that aims to maximize commercial success and social impact by creating companies that radically improve the world. In the tradition of Walt Disney’s original vision of EPCOT (Experimental Prototype Community of Tomorrow), SciTech Scity will be an internationally recognized community where businesses test—and residents and visitors experience— new science-based products and services before they come to market. SciTech Scity will bring together technologists, scientists, civic leaders, engaged citizens, teachers, students, and other thinkers and doers who share renowned computer scientist Alan Kay’s prescription that “the best way to predict the future is to invent it.” The word Scity (pronounced “city”), from Sci ence + city , is LSC’s portmanteau for a city infused with scientific creativity and actionable optimism about building a better future for all of us. SciTech Scity will help drive New Jersey’s innovation economy and put Jersey City and New Jersey on the leading edge of applied science worldwide.
