Description

This effort builds on recent economic development plans from the State of Illinois and City of Chicago and responds specifically to community interest—from research institutions, R&D-based corporations, and policy makers in Springfield and Washington, D.C.—in having a more informed and detailed understanding of Illinois’ R&D potential. Utilizing top analysis tools from Elsevier, Ocean Tomo, and Dr. C. Scott Dempwolf at the University of Maryland, the roadmap offers an unprecedented look into technology clusters that represent opportunities, both realized and potential, for innovation to improve business competitiveness and position Illinois as a magnet for top talent in key industries. We expect the roadmap and its underlying analysis to serve as a valuable resource for institutions, industry, and policy makers, making this report a beginning rather than an end to developing strong innovation policy in the state. As this report demonstrates, Illinois is rich in R&D activity.
