The Power of Place: A National Strategy for Building America’s Communities of Innovation
| October 23, 2008 |  View for printing |
The Power of Place calls for the creation of American Innovation Zones, which will include universities, research parks, federal labs and technology incubators. These Zones will directly support the technology competitiveness of the United States.
America's university research parks, technology incubators, federal labs and adjacent federal land (enhanced-use leases) are key national innovation assets. Many nations around the world are building substantial research parks. However, in the United States, this has been principally a state and local government role. We feel it is vitally important for the federal government to leverage support for research parks and related innovation assets. American competitiveness requires the reform of the barriers that prevent the full optimization of our facilities.
A strategy to cluster research and incubator facilities (along with housing and amenities) in innovation zones is an important aspect of our future U.S. technological and ecological competitiveness.
