Stanford Research Park (SRP) is a technology park established in 1951 as a joint initiative between Stanford University and the City of Palo Alto.[1] It was the world's first university research park.[1][2] It has more than 150 companies, including Hewlett-Packard, Tesla Motors, TIBCO and VMware; previous high-profile tenants include Steve Jobs's NeXT Computer, Xerox PARC, and Facebook.[3][4] It has been called "an engine for Silicon Valley" and "the epicenter of Silicon Valley".[5]
