Ten years after the study, in 2009, the KTEC had produced the following organizational results:

The Kansas BioScience Authority was created, without federal help, and funded at the level of $581 million to support innovative life science startups and research in Kansas.

The National Agricultural Biosecurity Center was created in 2008, funded on a competitive basis with $500 million.

A new National Institute for Aviation Research was created to focus on creation new composites.

A Software and Technology Association of Kansas was established to advocate for Kansas’ software and IT sector. A problem here, he said, was that IT companies did not feel a strong need to collaborate. His advice was “not to waste your limited resources on an industry cluster that thinks it can support itself.”
