Why does Emerge matter?

The more than 2,000 emerging research institutions, which represent approximately 95% of U.S. universities engaged in research, receive just around 10% of all research funding from the corporate sector. This matters because private industry is critical for translating research from the lab to the market and society. With more support from industry, ideas born in these lesser-known but highly capable institutions will have a far greater chance of benefiting our economy, human health, and the planet.
