Some examples—government & university grants to basic and applied research into large firms
- Google—Sergey Brin and Larry Page’s basic research was supported by a
National Science Foundation grant. Google now employs over 19,000 people globally and is considered one of the world’s most innovative and influential companies.
- SAS Software—Supported by a grant from the U.S. Department of Agriculture
(USDA), SAS began as a research project at North Carolina State University to analyze agricultural data. The company is now the world’s largest privately held software company and the leader in business analytics software and services. SAS employs more than 11,000 people.
- Cisco Systems; Pacific Biosciences; Hewlett-Packard; Sun Microsystems;
Genentech; Medtronic; numerous small and mid-sized biotech, computer, nanotech, medical device and other firms
- MIT graduates have started over 25,800 currently active companies with annual
global sales of $2T. If these companies formed an independent nation, the revenues would make that nation the 17th largest in the world.

The Problem and the Payoff
The Problem—How to Characterize and Understand Complex Relationships in Order to Maximize Mutual Benefits?
- Largest University in Oregon (30,000 students), urban campus, diverse student body
- Largest employer in Portland, Fortune 500 company, strong global R&D presence
- Hundreds of individual contacts between professors and Intel scientists, largely created
- n an ad-hoc basis—”a plate of spaghetti”
The Problem—How to Characterize and Understand Complex Relationships in Order to Maximize Mutual Benefits?
- Huge challenge—creating an “asset map” that fully characterized existing relationships,
with ultimate goal of focusing and enhancing the relationships in key areas.
- Took over 9 months of effort at both Portland State and Intel, but “worth all of the effort”.
- The two institutions now have a well-defined reference framework to organize 4 major
areas of interaction. Successful, but required exceptional commitment and tedious work.
The Payoff—Strengthening Programs of Mutual Benefit
- Intel’s largest and newest
assembly and test facility is in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.
- Worked with Portland State to
create custom BA program for Vietnamese students, who will become facility managers in Vietnam on their return.
- Joint Portland location allowed
for students to gain direct experience working with some
- f Intel’s leading R&D
researchers and management.
- Result: 75 managers in three
graduating classes—last class in 2014.
- Model for future university-
industry programs.
R&D Cluster Example: Research Triangle Park, NC
Economic Development Use Case Research Triangle Park--Beginnings
In the 1950s, North Carolina was home to a deteriorating economic base rooted in tobacco, furniture manufacturing, small-scale farming and textiles, and had the second-lowest per capita income in the nation. The state’s economic future was highly uncertain.

Research Triangle Park—University-Industry Mix
The Research Triangle Park is home to more than 170 global companies, including IBM, GSK, Syngenta, RTI International, Credit Suisse, and Cisco, that foster a culture of scientific advancement and competitive excellence. RTP is located between three major universities: Duke University in Durham, North Carolina State University in Raleigh, and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

Research Triangle Park—The Mission
“The Research Triangle is the marriage of North Carolina’s ideals for higher education and its hopes for material progress”
Source: www.rtp.org
- High levels of integration between
industry and university
- Multiple alliances
- Conferences, events
- Accelerator and incubator space
- Work with voluntary organizations
- 40% of 170 resident companies
have fewer than 10 employees

“For years, the cycle from the call to the connection took a number of phone calls to deans, department chairs, professors and administration to ascertain the best match for the inquirer. These calls could span over several days to find the right expert…”
- Ruthann Cage,
Economic Developer, East Carolina University
How do you find and connect to an expert within NC?
32
The Solution: REACH NC
- A searchable statewide portal that allows North
Carolina to tap into its vast pool of experts and resources.
- Allows those inside and outside academia to
access researcher expertise and assets easily.
- Makes visible over 8,900 researcher profiles
from 19 North Carolina higher education and research institutions.
- Increase transparency and visibility of research
expertise across NC.
- Enable more efficient and effective location of
experts for collaborative opportunities.
