Building Louisiana’s Innovation Economy. A Plan to Foster University Technology Development and Commercialization
| January 31, 2008 |
This report, prepared by Regional Technology Strategies (RTS) of Carrboro, North Carolina, under contract to the Louisiana Board of Regents and the Louisiana Recovery Authority, offers a plan to use the research capacity and talent within Louisiana’s university system to generate new knowledge-based companies, support the growth of existing Louisiana companies and produce more high quality jobs across the state.
The science and technology-based economic development process is dynamic and complex, but the goal is straightforward: more wealth in Louisiana communities and more opportunities for all of Louisiana’s citizens.
The plan focuses on three important elements of the technology-based economic development process that fall within university purview: strategic investment in building R&D capacity, improving and accelerating technology transfer, and producing the people to start, manage and grow technology-based companies in Louisiana.
