State Senator Tom Seymour, D-Minot has profiled Sen. Byron Dorgan, D-ND and others on this blog post concerning the upcoming Red River Valley Research Program conference scheduled for October 13. 

The Red River Valley Research Corridor plays an important part in our state economy.  There are around three business incubators in the corridor associated with University of North Dakota and North Dakota State University.  NDSU’s research and technology park has some very cutting edge things going on, and UND has a great aerospace program. 

Seymour is right to spotlight the Red River Valley Research Corridor and those scheduled to speak at this conference.  Like the Bakken oil formation and the energy corridor on the west side of North Dakota, the research corridor on the east side of the state has a lot to offer the entire nation.  

Getting that information to the rest of the country is key to interesting investors in what ND has to offer.
