A five-year study from the Anderson Economic Group gives mixed grade to University Research Corridor, a research partnership between the University of Michigan, Michigan State University and Wayne State University. While it placed high in many categories it came in dead last in tech transfer and next to last in when it came to creating startups.
Some might see that as a black-eye. We see it as room to grow.
Excerpt:
"However, the URC had a strong showing in other categories against the other clusters, which included North Carolina’s Research Triangle Park, California’s two Innovation Hubs and Massachusetts’ Route 128 Corridor. In fact, the URC placed first in talent production and fourth in research and development spending."
