If you’re in business, we’d like to discuss your future. The world has changed. In the words of Peter Druker, “International economic theory is obsolete. Knowledge is becoming the one critical factor of production.

Executives consistently say that the most important factor in doing business today is the quality of the work force. Jobs that a decade ago didn’t require talented technically- literate problem solvers now do. Where are these all important knowledge workers?

Fortunately, they’re easy enough to find. An enormous pool of talented, highly educated and trained workers—the best and the brightest in every technically advance field—have been nurtured in and emigrated to New York State.

Here’s why. Practically every future-driven industry in the world today has a center in New York. High performance engineering, electronic imaging, molecular modification, biochemistry, advanced aerospace materials, and on and on, all thrive here.

These industries have created and draw from a labor pool of more than half a million highly skilled men and women already employed in high-tech disciplines.

Highly skilled and highly productive. Our manufacturing workers, for example, are 19% more productive than the national average.

Our training here is unsurpassed. There are more than 300 institutions of higher education here (the most in the U.S.) spending more than $3 billion a year on research.

There’s a synergy between commerce and academia in New York. Private sector researchers work hand-in-hand with university scientists. Today, businesses in New York can access more than one thousand R&D centers state-wide.

No wonder giants like Bosch & Lomb, Corning, Bombardier, Kodak, Toshiba and scores of other leading international companies have set up shop in New York State.

These companies create a climate that in turn attracts younger but equally visionary high-tech companies like IntegraClick, Ruckus Wireless, Star Tex Power, Ahura Scientific, In-Sync Technologies and hundreds more.

If you have a company in New York State and are interested in tapping into the brain power that’s all around you or simply wish to find out about our many business assistance programs, call 1-588-633-5000. Or write to the Business Alliance for a New New York, One Commerce Plaza, Albany, New York 12243

If you don’t do business here, we can make expanding or relocating easier than you might think.

You may want to call soon, the 21st Century begins next year.
