Help us gain a better understanding of research and innovation occurring in NCW

Our Valley Our Future and the Washington State University Center for Innovation are jointly conducting a survey on behalf of The Bridge Research & Innovation District based in the Greater Wenatchee Area. Information from survey responses will help The Bridge district determine the kinds of research and innovation occurring in North Central Washington, recognize those engaged in research and innovation, and create avenues of connection for those businesses and organizations.

For purposes of this survey, Our Valley Our Future and the WSU Center for Innovation define research as seeking and applying ideas that allow for better products and services or as helping to solve a community issue or problem. Research also underlies innovation and economic growth; without research there is little innovation or growth in a region.

Answers to this survey will be tabulated cumulatively so as to protect respondents’ anonymity. We thank you in advance for completing this important survey.
