About

Increasingly individual states are actively setting policy agendas that directly influence R&D. This meeting discussed what roles states ideally have in influencing the R&D agenda and competitiveness; how regional cluster development can drive innovation and economic growth; and how a coordinated effort to support research between state governments can contribute to the federal R&D agenda and national innovation competitiveness.
