22 years, President, bwtech@UMBC Research & Technology Park • Developed 525,000 SF University affiliated research park • Formerly, President, AURP (Association of University Research Parks) • Twice named Influential Marylander in Technology • 2017 Tech 10 Awards winner • MBA, Cornell University Value Proposition of Research Parks as Drivers of Innovation Districts + Innovation Districts combine the economic driver of talent and innovation with the powerful real estate trend of live/work/play enabled by transit and walkability In this way, Innovation Districts are likely to be more than the sum of their parts: INNOVATION DISTRICTS > ECONOMIC DRIVER OF TALENT AND INNOVATION + REAL ESTATE DRIVERS Advancing Innovation in Research Park Complexes + In today’s global knowledge-based economy, physical environments matter in attracting talent, industry and furthering innovation + The opportunities of a research park existing within “communities of innovation” Research Park Community Assets Land Use Mix in Leading Innovation Districts + Creates a “sense of place” and networking infrastructure for the + technology business community + Provides a resource-rich environment for emerging and new ventures + Enables better linkages/alignment of university/federal labs/industries + Leverages access to talent pools + Potential for shared facilities and resources Land use mix of leading innovation districts Institutional/ Office/R&D/Flex Multifamily Retail Hospitality 55% 33% 7% 5% Broader impacts expected from key trend in the physical development of Research Parks—shift to “Live-Work-Play” + 2012 only 6% of university research parks are fully “mixed use” having food/restaurant, retail and housing + Within Years, 21% of existing research parks expect to be fully mixed use + Implications: science parks transforming into “hubs” for place-based development strategies The Layers of a Research District / Innovation District ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT CULTURE Direction for the research strengths and industrial drivers can propel economic growth in the future grounded in the area’s real estate market Direction for the physical development that responds to the site’s challenges, opportunities and neighbors to enable economic development Direction for a platform for the full engagement of the central functions of an innovation ecosystem, including organizational

centers are homes to labs, offices, educational institutions as well as businesses that are not at the core of the scientific mission but buoy it nonetheless Connect buildings to other buildings and public spaces with a network of streets and pedestrian walkways - everything is linked together COLLABORATIVE INTEGRATED Create spaces that enable people to work together if they want to; collaboration happens in offices, but the best collaborative opportunities often exist outside the lab in places like cafes and parks Be a critical part of the local and regional community No great tech center is an island, and the very best are integral to the life of their community Culture + Activating the vision to guide economic and physical success LEADERSHIP • • Governance and business
