What does the Florida Research Consortium do?
As a public/private partnership, the FRC plays many roles in seeking to help translate cutting-edge university research into economic activity and societal benefits for Floridians. First, the organization advises state policy makers on strategic policies and investments they can make on behalf of Florida’s citizens into university research. Secondly, we seek to enhance commercialization of that research by enhancing the collective connectivity of Florida university researchers and officials with the business community, economic development professionals and state and federal policy makers. These connections are sought through structured events, informal contacts and relationships. Finally, the FRC is working to inform Florida’s leaders about the importance of university research to a vibrant technology economy.
