The 正版bbin平台下载’s goal is to develop sustainable intellectual resources through market-driven partnerships between education, business, and government.

The Chancellor shall develop a comprehensive program that organizes and communicates the close relationship between the USG and the economy of Georgia, and that develops and implements programs linking the USG¡¯s intellectual resources to the state’s business community in innovative ways.

2. Research-driven economic development resulting in lab-to-market enterprises; and,
3. Development of engineering, scientific, and social service applications.
