New York is not capitalizing on the potential benefits of technology-based partnerships between institutions of higher education and emerging industries.
That was the conclusion reached in a report released last week by The Task Force on Diversifying the New York State Economy Through Industry-Higher Education Partnerships.
The task force was created by Gov. David A. Paterson in May to study how New York could create economic growth through cooperative efforts. According to the task force, the state "possesses many of the raw materials" to be a leader in fostering such relationships. However, it "lags far behind" other states in doing so.
