It hasn't worked. Let me give one nugget to your committee.
Everyone likes to talk about the Fraunhofers in Germany. They have 72 or 73 research hubs all across Germany. They changed the world. Do you know how many tech transfer offices they have for their 72 research entities? They have one. With high standards, high expertise and high focus, they knew what to distribute and they knew what to centralize. It's to scale and it's to core.
Why don't we just do what Germany does?
