One method of focus is to develop multidiscipliiiary research and education centers that support existing and emerging economic sectors. One example is CREOL. the Center for Research in Optics and Lasers. We incentivize faculty to make their labs and skills available to regional industry through a matching grants program. We work in partnership with regional governments to develop a network of company incubators with high wage and high growth potential. © 2012 SPIE.
