Currently, there are over 370 companies that call the Cortex Innovation Community their home. Cortex is mid-America’s premiere innovation hub for tech and bioscience research, development, and commercialization. Since inception, Cortex has completed 1.7 million square feet of new and rehabilitated space totaling over $550 million of investment and generating 4,200 technology-related jobs. The area starts at IKEA and goes three blocks west. On Doug Schneider’s walking tour, besides the Cortex, you will see an adult frozen cocktail bar, a Scottish restaurant, a wine bar, luxury student condos, a hundred-year-old hardware store, refurbished automobile and pharmaceutical factories, and a vegetable-forward restaurant.
