Most of the policy discussion about stimulating innovation has
focused on the federal level. This study focuses on the significant
activity at the state level, with the goal of improving the
public's understanding of key policy strategies and exemplary
practices. Based on a series of workshops and conferences that
brought together policymakers along with leaders of industry and
academia in a select number of states, the study highlights a rich
variety of policy initiatives underway at the state and regional
level to foster knowledge based growth and employment. Perhaps what
distinguishes this effort at the state level is most of all the
high degree of pragmatism. Operating out of necessity, innovation
policies at the state level often involve taking advantage of
existing resources and recombining them in new ways, forging
innovative partnerships among universities, industry and government
organizations, growing the skill base, and investing in the
infrastructure to develop new technologies and new industries. Many
of these initiatives are being guided by leaders from the private
sector and universities. The objective of Best Practices in State
and Regional Innovation Initiatives: Competing in the 21st Century
is not to do an empirical review of the inputs and outputs of
various state programs. Nor is it to evaluate which programs are
superior. Indeed, some of the notable successes, such as the Albany
nanotechnology cluster, represent a leap of leadership, investment,
and sustained commitment that has had remarkable results in an
industry that is actively pursued by many countries. The study's
goal is to illustrate the approaches taken by a variety of highly
diverse states as they confront the increasing challenges of global
competition for the industries and jobs of today and tomorrow.
