The Business Incubator Association of New York State is throwing its support behind the Academic Research Information Access (ARIA) Act.
BIA/NYS Executive Director David Hochman said, ““We urge the Governor to sign the bill, and we will keep working with the New York State Higher Education Initiative to expand access to all incubator tenants. Our board thinks this idea represents the best shot at assuring continued access for technical entrepreneurs.”
NYSHEI Executive Director Jason Kramer said, “We are grateful to BIANYS for their support. As New York looks to revitalize our economy and empower innovation the partnership between research libraries and entrepreneurs must be fostered. NYSHEI’s ARIA plan is the way to create the information infrastructure needed so that BIA/NYS researchers can compete globally and thrive locally.”
ARIA has passed both houses of the state legislature with unanimous support. If signed by Governor Paterson ARIA will become law.
