• Industry Alliances and Economic Development: Increasingly clients are asking for advice and guidance not just on research strategy or operational efficiency, but also how best to connect the full spectrum of public, private, and government organizations, centers, departments, and institutions needed to meet today’s innovation and economic development imperative. To date AGH projects have included building new institutions, organizing university-industry-government partnerships and coalitions, and identifying fields of research or the right mix of basic, applied, and specific problem-oriented research programs.
