Colleges and universities educate, reskill, and upskill our workforce to produce the talent Texas businesses and economies rely on.  \nTexas higher education also drives our state’s ability to compete through research, development, and innovation. Groundbreaking work across Texas campuses expands the frontiers of human knowledge and transforms our world.  \nTranslating cutting-edge discoveries and innovations from our research laboratories and classrooms to the marketplace must be atop priority for Texas to compete into the future. Over the past two decades, policy decisions and state investments have laid the groundwork for extraordinary growth, and it is critical we strategically bolster and leverage our state’s higher education research and development infrastructure.  \nMaking Texas the best place for new startups to thrive, investments to flow, and talent to grow is crucial to our state’s future in the innovation economy.  \nThis is why our state strategic plan for higher education, Building a Talent Strong Texas, includes bold goals for increasing educational attainment, awarding credentials of value, and strengthening research and development. This year, the 88th Texas Legislature committed billions of dollars to help advance these goals and provide a path forward.  \nHowever, increased funding is only one piece of this equation.
