Change Papers: A shared effort to change North Carolina's climate for innovation.

The efforts of other states confirm what we already knew. To grow more innovative companies that create more and better jobs, North Carolina will have to address some of our capital gaps.

So what kinds of ideas could the Council recommend that would really move things along, help develop NC’s innovation soil/ecosystem/infrastructure, build understanding and momentum?

We have three starter ideas that just might be the right size for a Council to get behind. They could set the stage for a bunch of other good things to happen, and could show people what an innovation-driven state would look, feel and act like.
