Connecting Research, Talent, Technology and Business™
S P E C I A L S P O N S O R E D R E P O R T |
Innovation is a term that seems to somehow defy definition. Ask 15 people to tell you what it means, you’ll get 15 different answers, most containing buzzwords like “creative insights,” “leading-edge ideas” and “knowledge-based solutions.” It’s easy to recognize innovation when it pertains to science or technology. Laboratory discoveries, such as new vaccines and gene therapies, are innovation. So are state-of-the-art computers and telecommunications equipment.
But what about a multi-modal transportation network for moving goods from one place to another? A novel approach to developing workforce talent? Or a streamlined system for delivering healthcare? Aren’t these innovations, too?
As new ideas, products and processes permeate every sector of the economy, it’s increasingly clear that scientific discovery and information technology represent only the tip of the proverbial “innovation iceberg.”
In Florida, the word has wider applications; it encompasses all fields and touches all business interests. Here, innovation is defined as “an attitude that makes anything possible.” » Read More

A WORD From the publisher
 My, how times have changed. It was in 2003 that FLORIDA TREND first began collecting the stories of medical and technological achievements from the state’s research universities into the pages of a publication called Research Florida. Over the last five years, as a growing commitment by our universities and research institutions to break new ground in the fields of life sciences, information technology, aviation and aerospace, homeland security and defense, manufacturing and more has spawned a boom in statewide economic development, we find that the label “Research Florida” is too limited for the story Florida has to tell. » Read More
