  • Borderless Innovation, Co-Authored by Kenn Morris, MBA; Nathan Owens, MA; and Mary L
    DEVELOPED IN COLLABORATION WITH A REPORT BY WITH THE GENEROUS SUPPORT OF DECEMBER 2005 GOBIERNO DEL ESTADO DE BAJA CALIFORNIA Acknowledgements This report on Borderless Innovation, co-authored by Kenn Morris, MBA; Nathan Owens, MA; and Mary L. Walshok, Ph.D., is part of a much larger effort, the Crossborder Innovation and Competitiveness Initiative, which is the current focus of the San Diego Dialogue, a program of UCSD Extension. The research underlying this report and the publication of the final document – in both English and Spanish – has been made possible by the generous support of very good friends and colleagues in Baja California, including: the State of Baja California; CENTRIS, an economic development collaborative in Tijuana; and CICESE, a federally funded science and technology research center in Ensenada. Equally generous was the support from Wells Fargo Bank, the City of Chula Vista and UCSD Extension’s program development funds. Our funders provided more than financing. CENTRIS, in particular, was the key partner in the execution of this report and we owe a special debt of gratitude to Rodrigo Gutiérrez Sández and Ulises Elías. Individuals from CICESE who were especially helpful include: Carlos Duarte Muñoz, Laura Robles, Dr. Arturo Serrano Santoyo and María Mendoza Díaz. The impetus for our overall effort comes largely from Baja California Gov. Eugenio Elorduy Walther, a long time supporter of the San Diego Dialogue. His enthusiasm for building a clearer understanding of the dynamics of the crossborder region as a first step to launching an aggressive “call to action” which would accelerate economic development on both sides of the border, has been an inspiration to us all.
