Bigger and Bolder: The Scale Needed to
Lead
Massachusetts has the opportunity compete in
a global scale by creating a $750 million research and development
program that fosters collaboration between the state, industry and
public and private universities. The program would leverage $250
million ($50 million per year for five years) in state capital investment
to land 4 or 5 $150 million-plus Global Research & Innovation Institutes: University/Industry
Alliances – funded largely by federal and private sources – connected
to areas of core science & technology strengths throughout the Commonwealth.
