The IDB grants tax incentives to companies establishing or expanding industries in the Huntsville, Alabama metro area.

Our town of Huntsville is known as the Rocket City for good reason: we have had thousands of scientists and engineers busy here for 70 years conceiving and developing new technologies for the aerospace industry. Much of that technology ended up in the products of NASA that made up the Saturn and Space Shuttle launch systems, the Space Station, and the myriad of test and support systems that enabled them to fly reliably. An equally large body of technology, however, was developed partially or fully for use as “plan B” and never ended up in an operational product. These technologies often reside today in the minds and records of the many retired members of the technical staffs of NASA and its many contractors, likely never to see the light of day. The Institute for Exotic Science has been established as a platform where these technologies can be discovered, brought in-house, documented, evaluated for relevance to today’s challenges, and further developed into solutions to today's and tomorrow’s needs for better ways to reach the moon, Mars, and beyond. Or, for that matter, the shores of Europe or the depths of the Pacific. These technologies range from propulsion to new materials to communications systems to manned and unmanned exploration technologies. Your organization can direct us and be the beneficiary of our unique capabilities by telling us of your technology needs and becoming a sponsor of our work on topics that are of relevance to your particular industry.
