Yesterday, I met with Chuck Hickman and Monica Turoczy of NOCHE. We are working to coordinate our activities. As you may recall, NOCHE was part of the Counicl on Competitiveness summit held in Cleveland on Novermber 21.
The Summit identified three areas of concentration. NOCHE is working on a project to "stem the brain drain" from Northeast Ohio (although it will not be called that). The goal will be to develop this initiative's business plan over the next six months. We will incorporate the NOCHE initiative in our January workshop on Making Change
For the past two days, we have been hosting two researchers from a small university in Umea, Sweden. They are interested in learning how university innovation systems work in Northeast Ohio.
They contacted Bo Carlsson, an expert on regional innovation systems and a member of our economic department. You can read more about Bo's background here.
Yesterday, we focused on activities we are undertaking here at Case. Today, we are taking our visitors to Cleveland State to meet with Mark Tumeo, the University of Akron to meet with Wayne Watkins, and Kent State University to meet with researchers at the Liquid Crystal Institute.
