Tech Transfer - Research

Research is vital to development of leading edge products and services. But if ideas stop at the drawing board, Americans will never realize the benefits. It's vital that what occurs in the laboratory is shared with those who can apply new learning in practical, commercially viable ways.

Q&A: Gary Conley preps a portal to manufacturing resources

Gabriella Jacobs Thursday, August 12, 2010

As president of TechSolve, Gary Conley knows what it takes to go from concept to commerce. His organization -- part of the NIST Hollings Manufacturing Extension Partnership, a national network of affiliated manufacturing extension centers and field offices serving small manufacturers -- is also one of Ohio's seven Edison Technology Centers. Lately, Conley has been incubating an idea for improving the exchange of a wide array of valuable information to help manufacturers throughout Ohio. It's OMNI: the Ohio Manufacturing Network of Innovation. hiVelocity caught up with Conley to ask him about the concept.

Q&A: David Beck helps us sift through CIFT

Gene Monteith Thursday, June 17, 2010

Since 1995, the Center for Innovative Food Technology (CIFT) has helped companies involved in some of Ohio's largest and most economically significant industries: food production, processing, packaging. But the center's work reaches all across Ohio's agribusiness universe and it seems no part is left untouched, from research, to local food initiatives to advanced energy. David Beck, CIFT's president and CEO, spoke to us about some of the work CIFT is doing.

Four year's later, Columbus' Tech Corridor powers on with new approach

Gene Monteith Thursday, May 20, 2010

Four years ago, a grand plan was rolled out for the "315 Research and Technology Corridor," one that envisioned coordinated, concentrated development of high-tech industry in an area roughly along Columbus's I-315. Since then, development has taken another course -- one that shows that the vision, if not the original game plan, is still alive.
