These technology-led economic programs have a long history of encouraging new company development. This document seeks to help Fellows leverage research park capabilities with student interests, in order to build community of innovation on their campuses.</span></span>

The best way is to be familiar with your campuses offerings (use the landscape canvass), and get out and talk to the student body. This critical stage helps reform basic assumptions about student entrepreneurship, and will help your university identify a solution. Many times student interests/desires align with other university initiatives so be sure to understand how to best utilize your research parks expertise.</span></span>
