AURP Releases National Strategy for Building America's Communities of Innovation

AURP (Association of University Research Parks) "offers a series of urgent recommendations for the U.S. Government, so that it can more precisely support American innovation and American innovators with both economic and policy-based changes." (See article for proposal targets.)

Does this apply to university research parks in Canada, too?

Interesting references to the importance of place and the creative class.

From establishing the first research park in
the world, to building world-class research universities and federal
laboratories while pioneering technology transfer and patent reform for
public-private research partnerships, the U.S. has led the world in attracting
research talent, funding scientific advances, and commercializing new
discoveries.
The United States is losing ground competitively. The ambitious entrepreneurs
and scientists who are willing to invest time and money into an idea are being
lost at a staggering pace to other countries. These foreign governments provide
incentives for this U.S. human capital to uproot and move. These individuals
find that the challenge of surviving in a foreign country is outweighed by the
tremendous economic benefit these foreign communities provide.

- At the present time, the U.S. is losing ground because we do not provide the
  Place for the Creative Class to prosper. We have left the responsibility
  of creating Place to local communities, many of which cannot bear the
  speculative burden of creating Place without governmental financial
  support.
- Our proposal targets the following:
- · Creating American Innovation Zones to drive the creation of modern research
  and development collaboration;
- · Expanding the availability of visas for skilled researchers; and
  
  · Encouraging in-migration of foreign start-ups through “soft landing”
  programs.
