Two weeks ago, Northeastern University announced the launch of the Roux Institute in Portland, Maine. Backed by a $100 million gift from Barbara and David Roux, the institute will bring graduate-level programs in life sciences, data science, and digital engineering to Portland. This was big news for Maine and also received coverage from the New York Times because the institute is premised on the idea that the innovation economy can be brought to parts of the United States that it has thus far passed over.
