EXTON, Penn. - September 7 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- The Newcomen Society of the United States will honor Kent State University and its President, Carol Cartwright, with the prestigious Newcomen Award, at an awards ceremony on Friday, October 7, 2005. Continuing in its 82-year-old tradition of recognizing organizations that have helped promote the American free enterprise system, The Newcomen Society honors Kent State University as an example of academic and innovative excellence.



"We selected Kent State for its ability to spark the entrepreneurial spirit," stated Leighton Wildrick, president and CEO of The Newcomen Society, citing the university's progress with technological advancement. "Their commitment to helping a new generation of leaders transform intellectual capital into economic growth and development echoes the values and vision of our namesake, Thomas Newcomen, considered to be the father of the Industrial Revolution," continued Wildrick.

Kent State's extensive research capabilities, faculty expertise, and prolific patent portfolio - one that includes more than 100 U.S. patents/copyrights in areas ranging from advanced materials to biosciences to information technologies - has earned this doctoral-granting university its reputation as fourth in the nation for the number of startup companies formed per $10 million of research. Its licensees and research partners include such industry giants, and household names, as IBM, Kodak, Motorola, Samsung, and Seiko Epson.

Since 1998, Kent State's Office of Technology Transfer has promoted and accelerated the development of patentable inventions and copyrightable materials; facilitated the creation of entrepreneurships and start-up companies; and partnered with numerous businesses nationwide to help them improve their products and processes.

Their key research and technology areas include advanced materials, liquid crystals, polymers; biomedical sciences, biotechnology; and information technologies, software, and linguistics. The multibillion dollar liquid crystal industry began at Kent State's world-renowned Liquid Crystal Institute in 1970 with the discovery of the LCD display, recently named by Forbes magazine as one of 85 innovations that change the way we live today.

"In today's innovation-driven economy, the strength of our society is linked inextricably to the generation of new knowledge and the effective application of that knowledge," says Kent State President Carol A. Cartwright. "I am very proud that Kent State has embraced a leadership role in translating faculty expertise in areas from liquid crystals to linguistics into products, processes and programs that not only have vast commercial potential, but that serve the public good."
