Colorado Technology Transfer Plan for Economic Development.
Colorado Advanced Tech. Inst., Denver.
Recognizing the importance of technology transfer to economic growth, the U.S. Economic Development Administration (EDA) provided the Colorado Advanced Technology Institute (CATI) with a grant to coordinate the development of a plan for using technology transfer in Colorado's economic development. The plan, outlined in this report, describes the broad infrastructure development that would facilitate technology transfer within Colorado, encompassing the diverse views of an emerging technology transfer coalition in Colorado that is composed of people and organizations who use technology transfer as a tool in their work. To evaluate the actual extent, understanding, and needs of technology transfer in Colorado, CATI conducted two surveys: one sent to 2,379 Colorado companies with a response rate of 18.7%, and the second to 307 local, state, and federal economic development and technology transfer organizations, with a 30.3% response rate. Based on the survey results, 15 recommendations are detailed, organized into 4 categories: General, Informational, Financial, and Educational. The plan's recommendations aim to enable the emergence of characteristics identified as underlying successful public and private sector initiatives in technology-based economic development, and strengthen Colorado's economy. Two appendices provide citations to 11 subcontracted background studies and information about 9 model demonstration project plans. (MAS)
