Win National Recognition for Creative Efforts to Encourage Innovation

In a field where talent, resources and funding have become increasingly competitive, practitioners must find creative ways to stand out from the crowd. Since SSTI introduced the Most Promising TBED category as part of our annual awards program, three innovative programs have been recognized for a creative approach in design or implementation. From a co-working network embedded in the Greater Phoenix public library system to a funding model for bioscience startups in Arizona based on philanthropy rather than traditional venture funding, and a grassroots approach to cluster development in Northeast Ohio, these initiatives are transforming their regions.

This could be your year to stand out. If your organization fits the criteria, please consider sharing your story by applying for the 2014 awards. Applications are due June 17. More information at: http://www.sstiawards.org/.
