The mission to grow New Jersey's innovation economy requires a concerted effort by academia, government leaders and the business community to improve the state’s business climate, attract more investment capital and retain the state’s brightest college students.
That was the consensus of leaders on the Innovation Panel at NJBIA's recent Public Policy Forum. Panelists included Dr. Rodney Priestley, vice dean for Innovation and professor of Chemical and Biological Engineering at Princeton University; Dr. Joel S. Bloom, president of the New Jersey Institute of Technology; Judith Sheft, executive director of the New Jersey Commission on Science, Innovation and Technology; and Assembly Majority Leader Louis Greenwald (D-6).
