HOW DO IDEAS LEAVE THE FACTORY?
The key is the technology licensing and patenting office.
‣ Under what terms does the office allow development of a technology?
‣ Does it facilitate robust exchange of ideas between "inside" and "outside?"
‣ What resources does it possess?

INCUBATORS
There are more than 1,000 incubators in the U.S. Why are they not more effective?
‣ Funding is short-term and dependent on governors, mayors, and chambers of commerce.
‣ Income streams from rentals to start-ups is so important they do not encourage the companies to leave.
‣ They do not establish themselves at the heart of a technology cluster.

OVERLAPS???

MOST COMMON OVERLAPS
If a state or region has too many competing institutions…and too much institutional rigidity…the result is confusion for end-users.
Resources are not properly focused…no one program achieves scale.

MOST COMMON OVERLAPS
KEY QUESTIONS:
‣ Do government agencies, political leaders, universities, institutes, innovation centers and the private sector have broad agreement on a strategic direction?
‣ …and who does what?

DOES EDUCATION FEED THE CLUSTER?

DOES EDUCATION FEED THE CLUSTER?
‣ Are community & technical colleges aligned with their region’s technology-based clusters?‣ Are they
anticipating their needs in 5-10 years?
