Benefits of collaborative research: the economy

Existing companies
Innovation helps existing companies create better products and services and compete in global markets. These companies tend to generate more company income, pay higher wages, and create jobs.

Business start-ups
Entrepreneurs use collaborative research to leverage their limited resources to develop breakthrough innovations and create new businesses as well as new industries.

Local economies
Communities and states that support the growth of innovative companies experience higher levels of economic activity, job growth, local investment, and quality of life.
