Former Gov. John Carlin talks about the need for entrepreneurship.
Ex-governor backs research
By William Ramsey Kansan staff writer
Private investment in university research can lead to profitable results for researchers and entrepreneurs, as Diasas Gov. John Carlson said last night.
As guest speaker for the KU chapter of the Association of Collegiate Entrepreneurs, Carlin talked about his support of the research of KU professor Kai-Wai Wong, a professor of theoretical physics who has been working on superconductivity since 1987.
Carlin, who was governor of Kansas from 1979 to 1887, is president of Midwest Superconductivity, Inc., 1321 Wakara Dr.
Carlin started the company last year to make commercial use of KU's research, he said. This is the first time he has participated in such a venture.
"What does an ex-public official, ex-faculty member, ex-dairy farmer do with a project on super conductivity?" Carln said to about 25 people in Alderson Auditorium in the Kansas Union.
In a phone interview, Wong said the
company's large laboratory where he works allowed expanded research.
"It's excellent," he said. "They provide us with more support than we were getting from the University or from federal agencies."
Materials that are superconductive transmit electricity without resistance and repel magnetic fields, Wong said.
Carlin said that innovative partnerships like his with Wong were necessary because the world market was becoming increasingly competitive.
"A lot of great things have come to us because of abundant resources and space," he said. "It was like we didn't have to change to compete. We had the talent."
Entrepreneurs today must be willing to take chances and think toward the future instead of looking for quick profits, Carlin said.
He said one way to be more competitive was to use university resources.
"If you want to take a look at a real shining star in this country, in America, then look at the work of our research institutions," Carlin said.
