Entrepreneurship and Technology Transfer I met with UII this morning to discuss the Utah Business Portal and other issues.  I stressed my goal of incorporating several ideas into the development of the portal.  In addition to the standard portal components, I would like Utah's business portal to emphasize opportunities for entrepreneurship and innovation.  I would also like to ensure that it promotes partnerships, such as those between higher education (the business schools) and business.  Technology transfer has a rich history in Utah and many businesses such as WordPerfect and Evans and Sutherland have grown up around Utah's colleges and universities.  Governor Leavitt's emphasis on developing a larger pool of science and engineering resources should support this.  Utah's economy needs this to happen. Here are a couple of great reads from Jim Stewart, a manager with UEN: Network Security - The Direction and Future of UEN The Network of the Future 1:12:48 PM    comment []
