Cornell Agriculture & Food Technology Park Unveils New Look Website
Thanks to a generous marketing grant from NYSEG, The Technology Farm has been able to update, not only its website, but most of our hard copy handouts, lobby display and travel information. It has been many years since the initial presentation materials were designed and it is time to show how far we have come. So check us out at:
www.thetechnologyfarm.com
The new look website will give updated insight into the facility, its tenant companies and the available sites on the campus. We hope that you will find it easier to use especially the finding us section. We realize that this has been an issue in the past and we hope we have resolved it. You can also find links to the tenants, Cornell University and The Experiment Station, technical experts and general resources that might be useful to find the information you need to assist you in starting your business.
