Economic Impact
|

There's a lot of good news coming out of the
University of South Florida (USF), which continues to rank among the top 10 US public universities in generating new patents over the past nine years.
The report, released by Miami-based Washington Economics Group, found USF's overall economic impact has grown 45% over the last three years, while fostering more than 4,000 private and public-sector jobs across Florida (a 35% increase from 2016).
“The double-digit increases in growth that this report details provide strong evidence that our strategy of close collaboration with local, regional and state partners to drive economic development and job growth is producing meaningful results both for USF and the wider community,” said
Paul Sanberg, USF Senior Vice President for Research, Innovation and Knowledge Enterprise.
Congratulations to USF on your hard work from all of us at AURP!

Research Park News: IA State Univ. Research Park Makes Its Move Upward
|
|
“I think when we get a decade down the road, we’re going to be able to look back and some place is going to have solidified their position in those two spaces. And as lofty as it sounds, I want us to be that spot. I want all of Iowa to be that hub for all ag-related innovation worldwide and for the next generation of biorenewables,” said Sanders.
Starting his tenure as president last June, Sanders is already overseeing rapid new park expansion and plans to build out the park's physical footprint and research/entrepreneurial impact. Part of this activity includes the recent opening of the
John Deere Technology Innovation Center and the
Tedesco Environmental Learning Corridor. In addition, ISU Research Park recently received local government approval to expand the park via new development into 32 acres nearby.
