Flint Hills Solutions Addresses The Need An Advanced Aerospace Technology Market-Based Vision for Kansas
Flint Hills Solutions is developing new Kansas
Initiatives that directly counter prior
unsuccessful strategies that have failed to
reverse the state's chronic out-migration.
These initiatives emphasize employing and
building on the skills of Kansans to develop
new technologies and ultimately new jobs
with accompanying higher pay and skill
levels. The region's competitive strengths
include major universities for a trained
workforce as well as a high potential
quality of life. The creation of these
strategic initiatives in Kansas will
establish a locus for Research and
Development activity to provide practical applications and to aid in technology
transfer to commercially-viable enterprises. These initiatives will assist in diversifying the regions' economy by creating and expanding technology-based companies.
