Publisher's Note:Responding to The World is Flat

Monday, September 19, 2005

The TBED community owes a huge debt of gratitude to Thomas Friedman for his 2005 book, The World is Flat. Friedman has helped elevate the issue of innovation, competitiveness, and the U.S. standing therein to the New York Times bestseller list, the Sunday talk shows, and scads of press coverage. Friedman has helped convince pundits and policymakers that the world is flat and the challenges to the U.S. are more serious than ever and are only increasing.

NSF Survey Documents Drop in S&E Doctoral Degrees

Friday, January 17, 2003

Since reaching a high point of almost 27,300 in 1998, the number of science and engineering (S&E) doctorates has dropped by 7 percent to just over 25,500 in 2001, reports a 2001 nationwide survey conducted for the National Science Foundation (NSF).

Local Knowledge Key to Rural Cluster Strategy

Friday, January 17, 2003

Cluster-based economic development has grown in popularity, but this has not always translated well for rural regions. Many rural areas do not possess the infrastructure necessary for many high-technology industries, and most areas face two major disadvantages — an inability to achieve economies of scale and possess or create a specialized division of labor; and the relocation of the labor force away from rural areas.

Foundations Continue Funding TBED Despite Slow Economy

Friday, January 17, 2003

Many organizations are wondering if, when and how severe their budgets could be impacted by the economy and the continuing fiscal crises in the states. While foundation endowments also have taken a hit by the stock market slump, several are increasing their contributions in building local or statewide technology-based economies. Two recent examples highlight the trend and point toward a funding path few TBED efforts have fully tapped.

Compromise on SBIR reauthorization released; Congressional votes expected soon

Wednesday, February 25, 2026

It has been five long, dark months for the nation’s small innovation-focused businesses and the regional innovation systems that rely on them for their strongest startups and future leaders, but a ray of light appeared Wednesday afternoon as a compromise was announced on the stalled reauthorization of the federal SBIR/STTR programs. And, if passed as written, we won’t have to go through this again until September 2031, which shifts future debate until an off-election year.

Overview of governors’ State of the State & Budget addresses

Wednesday, February 25, 2026

As we come to the end of February, more than half of the governors have either delivered their 2026 State of the State, their Fiscal Year (FY) 2027 Budget addresses, or a combination of the two, laying out their priorities for the coming year. With forecasted revenues for many states tightening, many governors and lawmakers, with a few exceptions, offer cautious or constrained funding priorities and proposed initiatives.

Recent Research: Startups with higher scientific orientations face VC funding challenges

Wednesday, February 25, 2026

It may not always be rocket science, but that doesn’t mean companies with scientific or technologically sophisticated innovations have an easy time raising capital. New academic research might lead one to wonder: Should TBED policy makers provide training for angel and VC investors that improves their understanding of critical tech - or continue to focus primarily on funding gaps and teaching founders to speak the language of VCs?
