Connecting Campus, Commerce, and Community - Developing a Laboratory/Manufacturing Incubator Facility

Presenter(s): Robert D. Dluhy, University of Massachusetts/Dartmouth; Leslie A. Glynn, Symmes Maini & McKee Associates; Neal D. Hannon, The Hannon Company
Convener: Katharine M. Learned, The Stone House Group


Incubator facilities can help foster strategic alliances and partnerships between academia, emerging technologies, corporations, and communities. The Advanced Technology Manufacturing Center offers a very real example of a successful partnership. It was planned and developed with the cooperation and support of the University of Massachusetts, Dartmouth; Mass Development (a public development agency); regional businesses; and the city of Fall River, Massachusetts.

This knowledge resource from SCUP is a concurrent session presented at the Society's thirty-sixth annual, international conference and Expo, SCUP–36, in Boston, MA (USA), in July of 2001.

Audiocassettes of this and other SCUP–36 sessions are available for purchase here.

Due to our concern for the privacy of members of the face-to-face audiences at SCUP-36, our digital archives of SCUP-36 presentations end at the beginning of the question and answer portion of each session. Whenever we can, we not only provide streaming audio but the slide show or visual presentation used by the presenters, as well.
