Jan 2023 — Present · Belmont, NC, US
I facilitate a Technology-Based Economic Development (TBED) Community of Practice building the capacity of EDA grantees to achieve greater impacts for their regional innovation economies. SSTI’s work with the community emphasizes: identifying and distributing best practices in structuring, measuring and planning TBED initiatives; fostering community among grantees around types of TEBD activities and target audiences/technologies; and facilitating communication with external stakeholders, including funders, clients and partners.A national nonprofit organization, SSTI offers information and services that are needed to succeed in today\'s innovation economy. We strive to maximize the capacity of our members to deliver successful outcomes within the context of the complex innovation communities in which they participate.Since its inception in 1996, SSTI has worked to share lessons learned from a nationwide network of practitioners and policymakers dedicated to creating a better future through science, technology, innovation and entrepreneurship. SSTI conducts research on common performance standards, identifies best practices, analyzes trends in and policies affecting the innovation economy, and fosters greater connection and cooperation among and between all public, private and nonprofit organizations encouraging prosperity.
