The testimony of J. Michael Bowman before the Senate Science Committee in support of S.1373, October 18th, 2007. Senator Pryor, Senator Carper, and members of the Committee, thank you for the opportunity to testify here today in support of Senate Bill 1373, the “Building a Stronger America” act.

My name is Michael Bowman.  I am the Chairman and President of Delaware

Technology Park, and the incoming president of the Association of University Research Parks (AURP). I would like to provide my perspective to help you better understand science parks, and how they create economic development.

I also would like to thank you for the passage of the recent “America Competes”

legislation. As you know, this important legislation calls for $43 billion of new funding over the next three fiscal years to boost federal investment in basic research in the physical sciences, expand math and science education programs at the K-12 and university levels, and revitalize policies that encourage innovation. It truly is an important element in maintaining America’s future competitiveness.

Today I’d like to discuss another important element. As the “America Competes”

legislation provides research funding and education for our innovative knowledge workforce, that workforce will need places in which to work.

Science parks are those places.
