UChicago, Portal Innovations Announce Science Incubator at Hyde Park Labs

The University of Chicago’s Polsky Center, in partnership with Portal Innovations, a venture creation and development platform, announced that the UChicago Science Incubator will be located at Hyde Park Labs.

The Polsky Center has teamed up with Portal Innovations to design and manage the science startup incubator, which will encompass approximately 22,000 square feet at Hyde Park Labs, with an anticipated opening in Q2 2025. The joint effort will help translate early-stage concepts into commercial opportunities in the areas of life sciences, quantum, AI, and climate and energy tech.

“The partnership between the University of Chicago and Portal Innovations underscores the significance of collaboration between academia and industry. By working together, we are better equipped to support our researchers and scientists in advancing their scientific research and innovation toward impact through commercialization,” said Juan de Pablo, executive vice president for science, innovation, national laboratories, and global initiatives at UChicago.
