07 Oct IN THE NEWS: Two more innovation campus awards announced
The innovation process takes time; it is both long term and iterative. Perhaps that is one of the key takeaways that could be drawn from the announcement made by Gov. Gina Raimondo on Thursday, Oct. 3, at South Street Landing about the latest two awards for innovation campuses to be created in partnership with the University of Rhode Island, using funds from a $20 million bond proposal approved by Rhode Island voters three years ago in November of 2016.
Or, as Raimondo said, when she announced the initial three awards on Dec. 18, 2018, “Innovation is not just a relic of our past, it’s a door to our future,” with the caveat: it may take a long time for that door to the future to be pushed open.
