SSTI Presents Awards of Excellence to Six Organizations Improving the
Nation's Competitiveness
As part of SSTI's 11th Annual Conference, recipients of the first annual
SSTI Excellence in TBED Awards were honored for their participation in a
national competition showcasing best practices in approaches to building
tech-based economies.
Designed to celebrate exceptional achievement in addressing the elements
that have been found in successful technology-based economies, the
awards program recognizes efforts to improve state and regional
economies through science, technology and innovation.
"Successful tech-based economies have strong research infrastructure,
ability to commercialize research, access to capital, a skilled
workforce, and an entrepreneurial culture," said SSTI President and CEO
Dan Berglund. "They also encourage existing industries to become more
competitive. These initiatives demonstrate the successful approaches
that are being taken across the country."
The 2007 Excellence in TBED Award winners include:
* Georgia Research Alliance Eminent Scholars(r) - Expanding the
Research Infrastructure Category. The purpose of the GRA Eminent
Scholars program is to bring pre-eminent scientists to Georgia's
research universities and provide them with the tools they need to lead
R&D programs with the greatest potential for generating significant
economic gains for Georgia. To date, the program has recruited 57
Eminent Scholars to GRA's university partners. These Eminent Scholars
have attracted more than $350 million in federal, foundation and
corporate research funding, fostered and led 20 centers of research
excellence, and spun out more than 20 new technology start-up companies
from their research and research centers.
* Georgia Research Alliance VentureLab - Commercializing Research
Category. Launched in 2002, VentureLab currently operates at five of
Georgia Research Alliance's (GRA) partner universities, seeking out
university-based research innovations, assessing their commercial
potential and providing resources to form new ventures. Seed grants are
awarded to universities and early-stage companies. GRA investment in
VentureLab grants through 2006 totaled $6.5 million, with 73
discoveries/technologies funded and 52 companies formed.
* Technology 2020 - Building Entrepreneurial Capacity Category.
Founded in 1995, Technology 2020 is a public-private partnership whose
mission is to grow new businesses and high quality jobs by capitalizing
on the unique technology resources of the Technology Valley Corridor.
Technology 2020 has established a comprehensive entrepreneurial support
system which has provided assistance to more than 160 start-up companies
in the region. These client companies now employ more than 1,800 people
at salaries nearly double the regional average and account for $114
million in payroll annually in the Tennessee Valley Corridor.
* Connecticut Innovations Eli Whitney Fund - Increasing Access to
Capital Category. Connecticut Innovations, a quasi-public organization,
created the Eli Whitney Fund to help Connecticut-based, entrepreneurial,
technology-oriented companies grow by providing funding at the earliest
stages in a company's life cycle - when it is most needed. Investments
typically range from $250,000 to $1 million. Since 1995, Connecticut
Innovations has invested over $100 million to support R&D and marketing
efforts in more than 60 companies, leveraging more than $1 billion of
additional investment into Connecticut from private investors.
Additionally, Connecticut Innovations has generated more than $500
million in Gross State Product and more than 5,000 additional job-years
in the state.
* Virginia Council on Advanced Technology Skills - Enhancing the
Science & Technology Workforce Category. A joint initiative of the
Virginia Biotechnology Association and the Virginia Manufacturers
Association, the Virginia Council on Advanced Technology Skills (VCATS)
is an alliance of employers and economic development partners created to
address the challenge of ensuring a quality workforce for Virginia's
technology-based industries. The employer-led effort is a statewide
competency-based program that works with a variety of partners to
address a broad spectrum of related services, including activities to
raise awareness for key manufacturing jobs, provide targeted screening
and recruitment, and conduct employer-designed training. The effort also
focuses on scale and replication with expansion to 10-20 sites across
Virginia.
* The Maryland Industrial Partnerships Program - Improving
Competitiveness of Existing Industries Category. The MTECH Maryland
Industrial Partnerships Program (MIPS), an initiative of the A. James
Clark School of Engineering's Maryland Technology Enterprise Institute,
brings university innovation to the commercial sector by supporting
university-based research projects to help Maryland companies develop
technology-based products. Since 1987, the MIPS Program has worked to
promote the commercialization of new technologies and create
partnerships between the University System of Maryland and Maryland
businesses. Since its inception, MIPS has provided matching funds for
more than 577 projects worth a total value of $152 million in R&D
expenditures, resulting in sales of MIPS-related products of over $12
billion.
"These six programs represent best practices and illustrate the
essential role of science and technology in fostering a climate
conducive to innovation," Berglund said. "The proven success stories
from this year's selected winners should be viewed as role models for
peer practitioners."
Applicants were asked to provide a narrative outlining specific
information about their initiative, including demonstrable results. SSTI
received a number of high-quality proposals addressing the crucial needs
of U.S. businesses to compete in a global economy. Winning initiatives
were selected through a competitive process by committees of
accomplished TBED practitioners and policymakers serving as judges.

SSTI Selects Cleveland for 2008 Annual Conference: October 14-16, 2008
On the heels of our successful 2007 annual conference, held last week in
Baltimore, SSTI is pleased to announce that Cleveland will be the
location for our 12th annual conference. The nation's premier event for
sharing ideas on the best ways to encourage technology-based economic
development and foster regional prosperity in a global economy will be
held at the InterContinental Hotel in Cleveland, Oct. 14-16, 2008.
Cleveland was selected after a national competitive bid process. Key to
winning the bid was the efforts of NorTech in demonstrating regional
commitments to technology research, development, innovation,
commercialization, and entrepreneurship to spur economic growth in
Northeast Ohio. NorTech, Northeast Ohio's leading technology-based
economic development organization, worked in partnership with the Ohio
Department of Development, regional businesses, foundations, research
institutions, and nonprofit community.
"We are thrilled that SSTI has selected Cleveland to host its next
annual conference," said Dorothy Baunach, president and chief executive
officer of NorTech. "We look forward to sharing with attendees the
practices that have made Northeast Ohio a model for sustainable
technology-based economic development, as well as our public-private
partnerships, which have contributed to the region's successful
transformation from an industrial center to an entrepreneurial,
innovation-based economy."
The annual SSTI conference draws more than 350 technology-based economic
development practitioners and practitioners from across the country to
learn from the nation's leading thinkers and practitioners. Previous
conference topics have addressed areas such as: university research
commercialization; manufacturing excellence; angel and venture capital;
university research parks and technology incubators; globalization's
impact on local economies; math and science education; and
public-private collaboration for science, technology and engineering.
"Northeast Ohio provides an excellent backdrop for SSTI's 12th annual
conference," said Dan Berglund, president and chief executive officer of
SSTI. "The state, and especially the northeast region, has made science
and technology a central focus for its economic development investments,
so Cleveland is a perfect choice to showcase successful technology-based
economic development practices and strategies before a national and
international audience."
Program topics at the 12th annual conference will draw on the
experiences and needs of SSTI's 38 state sponsors, and more than 100
affiliates and supporters from across the country. The agenda for the
event will be set in early summer 2008. In 2007, 48 states, the District
of Columbia, and several Canadian provinces and foreign countries were
represented at SSTI's conference. Previous SSTI annual conference
locations have included Baltimore, Oklahoma City, Atlanta, Philadelphia,
Seattle and Chicago.
