Most technology-based economic development (TBED) practitioners want to know the same thing: What approaches to TBED are being taken in other states and regions, and how are they succeeding?
SSTI’s Excellence in TBED Awards program was created to help answer these questions and highlight on a national level programs that are improving the nation’s competitiveness.
SSTI is now accepting applications for the 2012 Excellence in TBED Awards. Winners of this award receive complementary registration (a $595 value) to SSTI’s Annual Conference and are provided a national platform to showcase their achievement. Awards are presented in the following six categories:
- Expanding the Research Capacity
- Commercializing ResearchBuilding Entrepreneurial Capacity
- Increasing Access to Capital
- Improving Competitiveness of Existing Industries
- Most Promising TBED Initiative
The deadline to apply is July 17. More information is available at: www.sstiawards.org.
