NTID Celebrates 40 Years of Performing Arts The University Magazine Spring 2010 NTID celebrates 40 years of performing arts RIT adopts semester calendar: Learn more Imagine RIT: Innovation and Creativity Festival May 1 Six pillars for success at RIT We are in the home stretch of the 2009-2010 academic year and I see no slowing down for RIT, by all measures a university with a steep upward trajectory. I’ve had the pleasure of visiting with alumni in 15 cities since September. Learning about the success of our graduates always reinvigorates me. Indeed, many of our alumni are leaders in their fields and have forged exciting careers. (You can meet a few of them in a special feature starting on page 21.) Conversations with alumni, students, faculty and staff have helped me crystallize my vision for the university. I believe RIT’s future rests with six pillars of success.

Additionally, $3 million of the $15 million was set aside for “small” businesses, where a “small business” is defined as a “for-profit corporation, limited liability company, partnership or proprietorship with net book value of assets totaling…less than five million dollars ($5,000,000).” Over the years, several changes have been made to the R&D tax credit statute. Table 1 lists all of the acts that have changed the R&D tax credit statute, along with the applicable award years, the overall tax credit cap and the “small” business set aside.

    DRIVING INNOVATION WITH: CAPITAL, KNOWLEDGE & NETWORKS 2013-2014 ANNUAL REPORT BEN FRANKLIN TECHNOLOGY PARTNERS Regional Focus. Statewide Strength. Global Impact. On December 6, 1982, Ben Franklin Technology Partners (BFTP) was founded by Governor Dick Thornburgh and the Pennsylvania legislature. BFTP has since become the gold standard for technology-based economic development in the country. BFTP is a national and international model, honored with numerous awards and commendations from the President, U.S. Dept. of Commerce, International Economic Development Council and others. BFTP has played a central role in the Commonwealth’s transition to a globally competitive knowledge economy. The success of BFTP’s portfolio clients ripples throughout the Pennsylvania economy, contributing to new jobs, new growth, new investments and higher Gross State Product. For example, since 1989, BFTP has: • Boosted the PA economy by more than $23.5 billion • Generated 51,000 jobs in client firms • Added 89,000 additional jobs beyond those in client firms, yielding a total of 140,000 new jobs attributable to BFTP’s support And especially compelling for these challenging times: • From 2007-2011, the Commonwealth received $358 million in additional state tax receipts, plus $144 million in state tax receipts from related BFTP client services, for a total increase of $502 million in state revenue as a direct result of BFTP investments in client firms. • New state tax revenue generated as a result of BFTP represents a 3.6-to-1 payback to the Commonwealth on its $137.7 million investment in BFTP. Ben Franklin’s involvement was a vote of confidence that drew in a series of local and international investors.
