SmartZones℠ provide distinct geographical locations where technology-based firms, entrepreneurs and researchers locate in close proximity to all of the community assets that assist in their endeavors. SmartZone technology clusters promote resource collaborations between universities, industry, research organizations, government and other community institutions, growing technology-based businesses and jobs. New and emerging businesses in SmartZone technology clusters are primarily focused on commercializing ideas, patents and other opportunities surrounding corporate, university or private research institute R&D efforts.

As the Mt. Pleasant SmartZone is home to CMURC, the SmartZones are also home to incubation facilities providing a launching space for companies to grow into their own development in the technology park that is on University land.

The Mt. Pleasant SmartZone is governed by a Local Development Financing Authority.
