Final Strategic Plan for the Capital Region
Regional Economic Development Council - Success Today, Opportunity TomorrowCREDC Upcoming Meeting
Wednesday, July 10, 2013 9:00 am Location TBDCall for Priority Projects
The Pipeline to Project Workgroup is charged with facilitating the process of identification, solicitation and development of projects meeting the goals of the strategic plan. One of the primary focal points of the efforts of this workgroup is the development of a “pipeline” of projects that promote and enhance the CREDC 5 year strategic plan. In an effort to provide a standardized input to inform the council of regional priority projects, applicants may complete the Project Worksheet below to outline their project and its significance to our regional economy. This Worksheet is not a replacement to the CFA application, but is meant to compliment the process by allowing the council to understand the transformative projects of our communities earlier. The workgroup also intends to utilize the Worksheet to understand projects that may not fit the CFA guidelines or timelines, but are still considered regional priorities.Overview of CREDC Goals and Strategies

The Capital Region REDC
The Capital Region is an attractive place to do business. Among its assets are: a strategic location with proximity to all major markets in the northeast; an extraordinary quality of life with a mix of suburban rural communities and medium sized cities, including the Capital City; a highly skilled workforce and the many world renowned academic and research institutions. These intellectual centers provide unparalleled economic development potential as well as opportunities for companies to grow and expand, especially in high tech and knowledge based industries.
Project Spotlight
Another milestone for the NY CAP Research Alliance is slated for Wednesday, April 24. The Inaugural NY CAP Research Alliance Symposium will be held from 7 am - 3:30 pm at the Center for Biotechnology and Interdisciplinary Studies (CBIS) Auditorium, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in Troy.
It will bring together biomedical researchers, policymakers and stakeholders to welcome two internationally recognized researchers and share its progress toward building a new cooperative translational medicine research model in New York State's Capital Region.
The Symposium is sponsored by Albany Medical Center, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and the University at Albany, the three founding institutions of the NY CAP Research Alliance, established in 2011 as part of Governor Andrew Cuomo's regional economic development initiative. It was created to foster biomedical research among the Capital Region's leading academic research institutions and funds biomedical research projects that have potential for commercialization and involve collaboration among scientists from at least two of the three founding institutions.
The progress of 10 collaborative projects will be highlighted at the upcoming Symposium, including those that focus on many of today's most pressing health challenges, such as Alzheimer's disease, cancer, other neurodegenerative diseases and regenerative medicine.
