13 Lessons Learned to Date - Generalized Some challenges associated with typical demographic model: manufacturing operations in the Southeast and R&D either in Midwest or Europe/Asia Market surveys have revealed that Tier 1 and 2 suppliers have need for greater materials/root cause testing and services Emphasis from motorsports companies tends to be on short-term data acquisition type of activities and not longer-term “traditional” research relationships Strong focus on workforce development needs – collaboration with technical college systems essential Potential benefits for all could be realized through a more regional approach to R&D
