Knowledge Fund | Governor's Office of Economic Development The Most Critical and Only State Program to Foster Nevada’s Innovation Economy. The Knowledge Fund is the sole instrument that the Governor’s Office of Economic Development (GOED) has to foster an innovation economy in Nevada.
The fund promotes innovation by turning scientific research into market opportunities at Nevada’s three research institutions – University of Nevada, Reno, University of Nevada, Las Vegas, and Desert Research Institute – in areas that GOED has targeted for economic growth.
Importantly, because this innovation-driven economy is built on a foundation of identifying and transforming new knowledge, the system continues to produce these benefits well into the future and beyond the boom-and-bust lifecycle of any one industry or business. With the help of the Knowledge Fund, Nevada can continue generating high-paying jobs and attracting innovative firms to the state.
In short, an innovation economy strengthened by the Knowledge Fund raises the overall quality of life for the people of our state. Since 2014, the Knowledge Fund has made a significant impact on $37.
