"...Earlier this year, I traveled to Upstate New York to visit the Albany Nanotech Complex at the SUNY Polytechnic Institute—an advanced R&D facility, led by NY CREATES, a resource for public-private and academic partnerships. The facility specializes in commercialization projects, enabling access to semiconductor design and prototyping for startups, smaller businesses, and universities, as well as helping to attract investment for entrepreneurs. 

"Alongside this effort is SUNY’s Career Alignment Platform Initiative, partially funded by the Commerce Department.
