From the University Group here in New Hampshire. New hampshire lags behind for industry and universities and has shortfalls in the level of entrepreneurial activity needed to drive future growth. Thats from the New Hampshire University Research and industry plan which were going to talk industry clusters. Advanced manufacturing and biosciences and thats an effort for a handle on those quotes that you just saw. The plan recommendations are three, eco system. Retention and attraction and Industry University collaborations. All this have is part of a new New Hampshire University Research and industry plan and with me are two people who are going to drive that plan who helped put it together. And they are the provost at university of New Hampshire, welcome, mark. And Technical Services at eversource and on the part of ep score, the Environmental Program to stimulate competitive research. Yes. Is that right . Yes, indeed. Welcome. Nice to have you. Thanks. What led to this research, number one, where you found New Hampshire lagging and then the plan, mark . Foundation and unh is the recipient. What its intended to do is make states more competitive in research and as the plan came together. As the program for epscore came together. Perhaps there was a misalignment between what the university was doing and what the industry of the state was. And so the plan, which came from that nsf award was designed where we could see Information Systems, advanced manufacturing and biosciences. Terry, why those three areas . Well, its what the data told us and this is a data driven plan. We did a tremendous amount of research looking at patents throughout the state and looking at the activity of our major businesses in the state and our places that our universities were working and where universities and businesses were necessarily communicating with one another. What is the plan to investigate those three clusters. Are there clusters in those three areas or is the plan to create them . No, those clusters very much exist, theres a tremendous collaboration that takes place in them. And were looking to enhance the collaboration between the university system. Dartmouth college and Higher Learning and the business talking republican private institutions that would be involved with this, Information Systems and now, mark, youve got some recommendations specifically to make this plan move forward and strengthen the eco system. What do you mean . So in the areas in the country that are strongest economically. Theres University Industry and government collaboration, that kind of drives that activity. So, to strengthen those collaborations and to strengthen the eco system is to have everybody at least know what the other people are doing. To have our faculty working with we have. And all of this, feeding into the education that our universities and colleges provide. And then the next one is talent retention, generation or retraction and we know that we have a were minus the talent that we need in this state . One of the major aspects of the retention part of it when students get educated in New Hampshire, what happens . Do they leave the state or stay. The data shows that hampshire when they graduate and this is meant, when they do this well, will create attractive jobs and companies and opportunities for those students, both on the training side so they come out prepared and also give them a place to go and give them a great paying job. And finally, with the collaborations, really, youve talked about that already. And thats bringing them together, to Work Together and out of that comes new products. New products and new startup keep from lagging in the beginning. Right, one important data point for that. The association of Technology Managers has data that shows that the startups have a one in two likelihood of still being in operation ten years after they go on existence.

More commitment 2016 coverage now. A look at an issue that affects every person, and consumption. While the debate continues how to make electricity more affordable for Granite Staters, there is concern whether new england can generate enough power. Wmur political reporter adam sexton takes a look. The winter months is when new englands power grid is put to the test. On the coldest days of 2013 when temperatures barely rose above zero, demand nearly overwelcomed the system. Came the closest to put the lights out during the winter period. , but gordon van wheelie, the man responsible for the power supply recently says the current state of the grid is even more precarious. I chose it carefully because we can keep the lights on in the winter time with the Current Resource base, as long as something bad doesnt happen. Speaking oneonone with news new englands energy future. In the next three years, the grid will lose plants, a coal fired and a nuclear station. And Renewable Energy resources and the current natural Gas Infrastructure wont be able to make up the difference. Somethings got to give in this equation. Lo losing Gas Resources without that energy and or beefing up the Gas Infrastructure within the region. But Energy Projects have become increasingly controversial. Northern pass remains a hot button issue in the North Country and the proposed northeast direct gas pipeline through the monadnock region. Theyre hoping to make the economy fossil fuelfree by mid century. Were dependent on fossil fuels. As we continue to invest in energy technologies, as we build out the infrastructure for distributed energy generation. I think well achieve that goal. Stuck in the middle of this, are the rate payers. Some are looking into generating their own power from wind or solar to defray rising costsments when you ask people if they can help and be a part want to be a part of it. And they want clean energy. But for most, home generation remains out of reach. Even for the government, major investment in wind and solar isnt cheap. If you want to get more Renewable Energy and carbon dioxide, we have to accept the reality of that. Thats the way we want to go. Things get more costly when you factor in backup. The iso says until Battery Technology for win improve, the grid needs natural gas to meet peak demand. You cant always rely on the weather to give you the Energy Production youre looking for. The hope is that new england never has to face shortageinduced winter blackouts. After 2019, the iso says it could eventually step into the Energy Marketplace to stop aging plants from retiring to make sure that the lights stay on. Judge, with your storm watch 9 forecast.

Its from a University Group here in New Hampshire. New hampshire lags behind the National Average in growth and development for both industry and universities. And has shortfalls in the level of entrepreneurial activity needed to drive future growth. Thats from the New Hampshire University Research and industry plan which were going to talk about. That plan focuses on three industry clusters. Information systems, advanced manufacturing and biosciences and thats an effort to get a handle on those quotes that you are three, strengths and innovation, eco system. Talent generation and attraction and Industry University collaborations. All of this is part of a New Hampshire University Research and industry plan and with me are two people who are going to drive that plan and helped to put it together. They are mark, from new ventures at university of New Hampshire, welcome mark. And terry of Technical Services at eversource and also on part epscore for research. Yes, indeed. What led to this research, number one, where you found New Hampshire lagging and then the plan, mark. Epscor is funned by the National Science foundation and unh is the recipient of the reward. Itsen as the program for epscor came together, perhaps there was misand linement between the university and what the state was doing, the plan that came from that award was designed to see where we could coordinate better and you have advanced systems and biosciences and terry, why and this is a datadriven plan. We did a tremendous amount of research looking at patents throughout the state and the major businesses in the state and found the spaces where the universities and businesses were doing many of the same things, but not necessarily communicating with one another. What is the plan to advance the three industry clusters . Are there actually clusters in h to create them . The cluster very much exists and theres collaboration that takes place within them. What theyre doing is to advance it between the university system. Dartmouth college and institutions of Higher Learning. Publicprivate institutions involved with this Information Systems, and advanced manufacturing and biosciences. Now, mark, youve got recommendations specifically to make this plan move forward. Strength in innovation and eco that are the strongest economically, theres university and government collaboration that drives that activity. So to strengthen those collaborations and to strengthen the eco system is to have everybody at least know what the other people are doing, to have our faculty working with companies, the companies coming to the university and taking advantage of the resources that we have. And all of this feeding into the education that our universities and generation or retractions and were fine must the talent we need in the state. One of the major aspects of the retention part of that. When students are educated in New Hampshire, what happened . Do they leave the state or do they stay . And we know that the data shows that a lot of our students are leaving New Hampshire when they graduate and if we do this well, will create attractive jobs and companies and opportunities for training side so they come out prepared, but also give them a place to go and have a great paying job. And finally, briefly, the industry collaborations, youve talked that already and thats bringing them together to Work Together and out that have will come new products and new products and new Startup Companies. New Startup Companies which New Hampshire needs in other words, to stop lagging in that arena which we talked about in the beginning. Thats right. Theres one important data point for that. The association of university Technology Managers has some startups have a one in two likelihood of still being in operation ten years after they go in existence. A good way to end the interview.

Where drug Company Profits come before affordable medicine, the Koch Brothers and big oil come before clean energy, and powerful corporations beat out entrepreneurs looking to grow their small businesses. Im maggie hassan. Washington wont change overnight. But sending a new senator who puts your priorities ahead of special interests can make a difference. Im frank guinta and i approve this message. Narrator New Hampshire has one of the worst opiate epidemics in the nation. And frank guinta is leading the charge to fight it. Erin canterbury when i met congressman guinta, it was like a breath of fresh air. He said to me what can i do . How can i help . Narrator frank guinta founded and chairs the Bipartisan Task force to combat the heroin epidemic. Canterbury frank guinta understands this is not a democratic issue nor a republican issue.

Cars driving deep into trouble and floating away. So is the worst over . Rob is tracking this dangerous storm. Deadly accident, a truck plunging 60 feet off a highway
