The Delaware technology community may still be new to building web and software businesses. Its medical and chemical heritage, however, means the state has a leg up in developing and commercializing life sciences research.

From the lasting legacy of DuPont, healthcare providers like Christiana Care Health System, academic efforts from the University of Delaware and facilitators like the Delaware Technology Park, the First State has a healthy crop of compelling work being developed across the state.

Below, we chronicle 13 of the most innovative projects currently being developed in Delaware. To get this list, we asked an array of leaders about the work that most excited them. Of course, there are likely lots more, so tell us what we’ve missed in the comments or at @technicallyDE.

This report is sponsored by the Delaware Technology Park (DTP) , an award-winning nonprofit research park that provides development-stage life science, IT, advanced materials and renewable energy companies with access to the resources and connections needed to grow and scale. The success of DTP is due to its strategic alignment within regional government, academic institutions and industry. Since 1992, DTP has housed over 75 companies including UD spinouts that have created over 16,000 new jobs in the region.
