Our story
The Cambridge Innovation Center opened in Cambridge, MA in 1999, and CIC Miami opened its doors in October 2016. With a vision to bridge one of the nation's largest health districts with the rest of Miami's thriving innovation corridor, we combine coworking, flexible offices, and laboratory spaces layered with robust programming, advising, and community-building initiatives.
Believing Miami can grow to become the connecting point of the Americas, we have set out to build a collaborative, inclusive, and value-adding center of gravity with a strong focus on what it will take to make Miami a true regional hub for entrepreneurship, innovation, and economic development.
