Bossier City's Cyber Innovation Center and Louisiana Tech University, which have partnered in the past for educational initiatives, plan to form another one.
It will be called the Louisiana Tech Research Institute and its purpose is to accelerate 21st Century research and economic growth.
Over the past seven years, the CIC and Tech have secured millions of dollars in research funding, created a knowledge-based economy in the region, and attracted national attention from industry, government, and communities.
Creation of the Louisiana Tech Research Institute, or LTRI, is meant to build on that in light of anticipated growth in the region over the next decade.
