Keep your eyes on March 16 — all proposals will be in. . . Bloomberg administration made a bold decision to invite the top global higher educational institutions to invest in satellite applied science facilities in New York City — Stanford, Purdue, MIT, Cornell were all among the invited — and anxious eyes wait to see who will submit applications to be a part of this new model.
Obviously a high profile research site of such magnitude would change NYC competitive play in many worlds. It is bold, innovative and down right brilliant idea. The city will co-invest with schools . . promising land and some project monies. But the key is . . . strengthening applied sciences in NYC and building commercial capacities by attracting top talent — improving global profile, building an innovation economy and competing globally. Also, preparing for federal monies focused on Innovation & Infrastructure.
