From the "if you want to know the players, you've got to buy a program" camp, launching this thread as the:

Center for
Observation &
Tracking of
Emerging
Centers of
eXcellence.

There is a huge proliferation of activity, and hopefully action, in the domain. Please fire off a post in this thread to ID any new organizations out there on the horizon. Maybe a link to their page, and a blurb on their mission.

For those who have some substantive commentary on any of them, please spawn a new thread in this forum, or in another forum if the fit is more compelling.
