"Technology based economic development (TBED) is one of the clear metrics of a region's potential to produce useful innovations. One of the key locations where unfettered innovation occurs within regions wanting to grow TBED is its universities. Universites that support modern research policies, unique research facilities, and wide collaborations with businesses and government, will have the necessary building blocks to spur innovative potential that will not diffuse away. The University of South Alabama is the region's number one research university that has the innate ability to support entrepreneurs, researchers and commercialization activities with the specific focus of enhancing TBED. USA's Technology and Research Park, the Mitchell Cancer Institute, health sciences, engineering, information technology, basic sciences, business programs, education leadership, and fine arts combine to enhance the region's ability to support a 'Place-Based' innovation habitat suitable for attracting new business and enhancing existing communities."
