Wharfy,

thanks for the article - I have read a few things about them in our local rag. The regional approach is the way to go so you don't have the adjoining towns all spending money on the same thing. This is also the model MIT is pushing for government research - rather than spreading research dollars over 100 labs - increase the grant sizes substantially and fund 5 labs. Research in the US is inefficient in the way money is applied across universities. The other issue working against that kind of distribution are patent values coming out of the labs as a result of the funding - universities will compete fiercely for those dollars. It's a complicated issue.

Once the VC's figure our how to make money (alternative energy as an example), the break throughs will start coming.

Again, thanks for the article.
