Why Focus on Innovation?
• Between one third to one-half of ‐ economic growth in U.S. is attributed to innovation (Source: U.S. Department of Commerce 2012)
• Innovation is the creation & adoption of new products, services, and business models to yield value
• Innovation comes primarily from science (systematic knowledge) & technology (practical/creative application of knowledge)

Why Focus on Innovation?
4
• US labor force = 66% local services, 10% innovation, 24% other
• But jobs in local services are more the effect, than the cause, of growth in other sectors
• Innovation has big (5x) multiplier effect (across sectors & skill levels) • e.g., If SAS adds a Data Scientist job in Cary → more jobs for waiters,
landscapers, store clerks, painters, etc., but not vice-versa
• Most important impact of SAS on local labor market is outside high-tech
• Best way to create jobs for all is to grow & attract high-tech/innovative companies that hire highly educated/skilled workers

What’s an Innovation Index?• Comprehensive measurement of an innovation ecosystem’s
performance
• Several purposes:
• Identify strengths & weaknesses
• Inform decisions & policy making
• Establish benchmarks & measure effectiveness
• A comprehensive & effective index should:
• Focus on multiple components of innovation ecosystem
• Include multiple indicators for each component
• Compare on multiple dimensions – spatially & temporally

Which underlying factors have the largest impact on three target economic well-being variables:
• Per capita GDP• Per capita personal income• Average annual pay
Based on analysis using SAS Visual Statistics, we found three variables statistically significant for predicting changes in target variables:
• Proportion of workers in high-tech industries• Proportion of workers in science and engineering
occupations• Post-secondary educational attainment

Two Current Innovation Initiatives
• Innovation-to-Jobs (I2J) Initiative
• Policies & programs, developed by Governor McCrory’s I2J Working Group, to commercialize more innovations, particularly from universities
• InnovateNC Initiative
• Multi-organization partnership, led by Institute for Emerging Issues, to help five North Carolina communities—Asheville, Greensboro, Pembroke, Wilmington/Carolina Coast, & Wilson—build and sustain their local innovation ecosystems
• What else can/should be done?
