Mind2Marketplace, an advocate for technology transfer, commercialization and tech-driven economic development, got some fresh momentum yesterday, during an event at MTSU. The loose coalition not only got a vote of confidence from Congressmen Bart Gordon (at left) and Zach Wamp and the Tennessee Valley Corridor group, but also announced it'll finally get some dedicated staff, or half of one. M2M also handed-out their working draft of a 3-year workplan that, even in its current incomplete form, would challenge three fulltimers, much less the single half-timer who'll soon be given license to build M2M into the kind of formal membership organization that could attract more funding, more effective initiatives and, yes, a better definition of what it means to take a Mind to Marketplace. It's a good sign, but M2M's not out of the woods, yet. Read about it here.
