Leveraging University Assets for Regional Transformation

TRE Networks is accelerating US competiveness by helping regions innovate. TRE positions our country’s research universities centrally in regional development efforts to:

• Accelerate innovation by developing collaborative networks,
• Develop innovation networks by focusing on regions,
• Leverage the strengths of metropolitan areas to help smaller cities and rural areas within regions, and
• Develop a national system to foster new networks of public, private, and philanthropic investors at the national level to accelerate regional innovation.
  

Innovation and creativity are in our national DNA – an advantage reflected not just in our political history, but in our economic story as well. Our national challenge is to reconfigure our existing level of investment so that it is far more productive. We need to innovate in ways that support regional development. TRE Networks is one such innovation.
