Q. What is the next step or next Big projects for the organization?

 We are sponsoring a sustainability conference, our second annual event where we are bringing together 100 of the top University Presidents and 150 of the top Industry CEO's to help bridge the gap that exists between academia and industry.  This conference will help showcase successful public-private partnerships that demonstrate best practices in equipping and training students to enter the marketplace and make real contributions, instead of requiring 2-3 years of additional relevant training for the skills needed using modern technology.  This conference will also help industry invest in academia creating sustainability while allowing the industry to speak into the new curriculum in universities.  Without the blessing and support of the government, this would all be wasted effort.
