Tri-Cities Tech Business Update
Phillip Singerman to speak
MARCH 5. REGISTER BY FEBRUARY 26. Phillip Singerman, the senior vice-president of B&D Consulting, will be the next speaker in the Tri-Cities Research District Speaker Series. Singerman will talk about federal funding available for development of research parks, including what is available, how to gain access to it, and why it's an important element of success. He will also address the federal economic development funding resources and the economic development implications of carbon cap and trade systems (an administrative approach used to control pollution by providing economic incentives for achieving reductions in the emissions of pollutants). Pacific Northwest National Laboratory and Washington State University Tri-Cities are teaming to host a speaker series dedicated to educating stakeholders, the community, and other interested individuals and organizations on what it takes to successfully develop a research park. Speakers who are experienced in developing research parks across the country will share their perspectives. Meetings are held at the Washington State University Tri-Cities campus. There is no charge to attend; however, you must pre-register by Friday, February 26, 2009. The event begins at 4 pm and will be followed by a light reception sponsored by Lockheed Martin.
