  4. The New High Tech Parks • The Biological World. 21st century will be defined by biology • Global, Networked Science.Need to be connected to other innovation hubs. • The New Scientist.Young scientists pioneer massively collaborative work styles. • Big Science, Lightweight Innovation. As the federal government pours money into basic research, companies are stripping their R&D organizations to the bone, instead favoring lightweight and open innovation strategies. The inevitable disconnect means a need for new systems that can take raw breakthroughs and prepare them for commercialization. • New Public Agenda. Turning federal dollars into jobs fast is the order of the day. But it’s not clear if research parks and incubators can deliver at the pace demanded. • The Persistence of Place. Place is more important than ever for the creative collaborative work that can’t be virtualized. But the way young innovators use space will be more dynamic, ad hoc and flexible. • Universities Transformed. Today’s leading research universities treat intellectual property like corporations of yesterday, while the most innovative companies are opening up and becoming more like yesterday’s universities. As universities shift roles from ivory tower to economic engine, fundamental flaws in technology transfer mechanisms will become all too clear.
