(Knoxville)

The Knoxville-Oak Ridge Innovation Valley was featured this month in Business Facilities Magazine's November article "Extreme Technology Sites".

"When like-minded business people, education, and public dollars come together, big things can happen," stated the article author Brian Donahue.

"It’s not a prerequisite for technological innovation, but a sampling of locations around the world where scientific breakthroughs are taking place shows that the combination can bring about vibrant economic communities producing leading-edge products and services.

"Take the Knoxville-Oak Ridge, TN region, for example. Also known as the Innovation Valley, the Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) here works in tandem with the private sector and the University of Tennessee (UT) toward common goals that include biotechnology initiatives such as developing alternative fuels, nanotechnology research, and neutron production."

As the Knoxville-Oak Ridge Innovation Valley continues to grow in stature and prowess, we'll see many more of these articles suggesting that Knoxville, Tennessee is an excellent place to locate a technology or science-driven business.
