KANSAS INNOVATION INDEX ASSESSES STATE’S COMPETITIVENESS
The Kansas Technology Enterprise Corporation (KTEC) has released the Kansas Innovation Index 1999. The major finding of the report is that "Kansas has a realistic opportunity to create a competitive advantage for economic growth and high wage industries by supporting its emerging innovation economy."
The report examines 33 performance indicators in four broad categories: Economic Structure, Innovation, Competitiveness, and Human Resources and Infrastructure. For each indicator, Kansas is compared to neighboring states and U.S. averages.
The KTEC report is the latest in a series of states’ reports on innovation indices. Massachusetts and Illinois have previously published reports, and Maryland is expected to release one soon.
Copies of the Kansas Innovation Index are available by contacting KTEC at 785/296-5272.
