Henderson Innovation Park

Texas Business Park Recruits Innovative Companies Using SmartFlowers

From its inception, Henderson Texas Economic Development (EDC) envisioned Henderson Innovation Park as a visible, working symbol of innovation. It chose SmartFlower to strengthen its reputation as a sustainable brand in the community and attract businesses that embrace sustainability.

With five SmartFlowers, the park is an iconic landmark and supportive ecosystem for new businesses to innovate and expand. The SmartFlowers “anchor the park’s identity as a clean-tech, future-ready space and help us recruit tenants who value sustainability,” stated Henderson Texas EDC’s Executive Director Bret Gardella. He continued saying, “The SmartFlowers immediately signal that Henderson is serious about next-generation infrastructure and is a partner for companies building sustainable operations.”

The SmartFlowers embody its commitment to clean energy, innovation, and economic development to potential businesses:

  • Sustainability in action: The SmartFlowers generate clean energy onsite, supporting Henderson’s broader effort to reduce emissions and operating costs.
  • Community engagement: SmartFlower is a living demonstration of advanced solar technology with features that the park can leverage for tours, STEM partnerships, and new projects.
  • Economic development: The SmartFlowers help recruit innovative companies that share the park’s sustainability vision.

For Henderson Innovation Park, SmartFlower represents more than solar power. It’s a bold expression of innovation, education, and environmental leadership for attracting partners and businesses to the park. By integrating SmartFlower into its park, Henderson has created an iconic gateway to a more sustainable and innovative future.
