SUNY leads the way to 21st century innovation.

Over the past decade, New York’s Upstate, Central, and Western regions have been transformed from retired industry into technical paradises.  From the entrepreneurial and medical hubs in the greater Buffalo region to the biomedical advancements and investments taking place in the Rochester/Syracuse area to the nanotechnology revolution in the Mohawk Valley continuing east to the Capital Region, New York State’s economical and educational outlook is bright and prosperous.

UAlbany College of Nanoscale Science and Engineering’s CEO Alain Kaloyeros recently named this trailway of technology when talking to the Times Union:

Kaloyeros is calling [the new drug discovery research and development center] “the high-tech mall.”

And he dubbed the corridor linking Albany and Buffalo the “21st century high-tech innovation canal,” echoing the role the Erie Canal played in an earlier era.

These unique private-public partnerships have garnered international attention, including from President Barack Obama, Apple Co-Founder Steve Wozniak, and countless national news outlets.

The educational institutions spanning the corridor are vehicles for the success of the innovation and SUNY campuses are leading the way.  Throughout this series, we’ll get you up-to-speed on the latest technology investments, partnerships, and developments. Here, we showcase the developments in Tech Valley.

Power of SUNY

As we count down to the new year, we thought we’d share some of the SUNY news you may have missed during 2012.

The Technology Accelerator Fund, or TAF, is an engine in SUNY’s system-wide efforts to capitalize on its position as New York State’s economic driver and, through that, lead the Entrepreneurial Century.  Business incubators, Centers of Excellence, Centers for Advanced Technology, and other collaborative research ventures continue to be developed and utilized in economic development regions across New York State.  They are built on the strength of SUNY research and foster entrepreneurial campus cultures—supporting students and faculty in transforming research results and concepts into the marketplace.

A significant obstacle to the development and transfer of university technology is the lack of funding for promising discoveries after government-sponsored support ends and before a licensee or venture-capital support is identified and secured.  Funding at this stage is essential to bring to market promising technology with potential implications for public benefit.  The TAF offers a means to assist the SUNY community by providing funding for select technologies to accelerate their development and commercialization.
