Regional Innovation, National Prosperity is a summary of the Regional Competitiveness Initiative as well as the proceedings of the National Summit on Regional Innovation, held in April 2005. Integrating the Council's findings from the past two years and the conference discussions, this report identifies five key cross-cutting issues faced by regions seeking to build innovation-based […]

High performance computing (HPC) has been and will continue to be a key ingredient in America's innovation capacity. It accelerates the innovation process by shrinking "time-to-insight" and "time-to-solution" for both discovery and invention. Along with theory and experimentation, modeling and simulation with high performance computers has become the third leg of science and the path […]

Greater Rochester has the assets necessary to develop a strong entrepreneurial economy. Indeed, the Rochester area surpasses most regions in the United States on many dimensions relevant to supporting innovation and entrepreneurship. However, to date, the region has not become an entrepreneurial success story. The Regional Innovation Initiative received a grant from the Small Business […]

This study was commissioned by the Council on Competitiveness and sponsored by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) to explore the usage and impact of high-performance computing (HPC) resources in industry and other business sectors, including currently available HPC computers and potential future computers assumed to be dramatically faster and easier to use. The […]

The final report from the 2004 High Performance Computing Users Conference, Supercharging U.S. Innovation & Competitiveness, features the observations of senior government, business and academic high performance computing (HPC) users and policy makers, regarding grand challenge problems that require petascale capability and the barriers limiting private sector application of HPC. The report also contains the […]

A cluster, as defined by Professor Michael E. Porter of Harvard University, is a geographic concentration of competing and cooperating companies, suppliers, service providers and associated institutions. Clusters of Innovation, an initiative of the Council from 1998 to 2001, developed a definitive framework to evaluate cluster development and innovative performance at the regional level. It […]
