What do we know about Virginia’s modeling and simulation workforce?

–Source, VEDP 2009•Virginia’s MODSIM Workforce

• 8,700 people in the private sector• 2,100 Government and military

•Geographic Locations-209 establishments • 107 in Hampton Roads (Port) • 95 in Northern Virginia (Dulles)

•Economic Impact • Virginia ranks second in the nation for U.S. Department

of Defense Prime Contracts ($36.7 billion in FY 2008)• MODSIM direct economic output is $1.2 billion

Modeling and Simulation will be the basis ofbringing energy technology to market.

+ 4Virginia Clean Tech Incubators2010-2012-National Capitol Clean Energy

Incubator expands with a national presence, creating the nation’s largest modeling and simulation center around alternative energy and the environment

2010-2012 – Clean Energy Technology Manufacturing expands (example: AREVA creating an off shore wind program)

2010 - Dominion Resources expands the clean tech energy incubator model to Richmond, VA

2009 – Virginia becomes the 14th statewide incubator by establishing the Virginia Clean Energy Business Incubator

2007-2009 - Modeling and simulation expands from Hampton and Northern Virginia regions to the South Central region of Virginia

National Institute for the Commercialization of Clean Energy (NICCE) is writing a story and

We are creating the “Official” National Capitol Clean Energy Incubator, a regional project between Maryland, Delaware, Virginia, North Carolina and South Carolina

We are rapidly prototyping clean energy technologies and focusing on distributed modeling and simulation, creating the nation’s largest center in the world

We are now drawing on a highly skilled workforce prepared to meet the nation’s toughest challenges

We are designing, building and executing a state-of-the-art commercialization facility (50,000-100,000 square feet)

We are building a University network utilizing distance education

We are growing a mentor protégé model for small business and large business to partner together to win new work

+ 6A Vision for the National Capitol Region A nationally coordinated clean energy commercialization effort

is currently being developed and Virginia is poised to be the first state in the nation centrally focused on modeling and simulation in the energy and the environment. The realization of energy technology commercialization is being accomplished with these tools and new models.

Goal: Create the National Capitol Clean Energy Incubator with a focus on “energy” and the “environment” and the world’s largest modeling and simulation center focused on: Climate forecasting and economic impact modeling Distributed mathematical modeling and simulation Sensor development Energy efficiency (smart grid, building efficiency, materials) Biomass and biofuels development Water management, monitoring and problem solving

A World Data Center on Energy is under development.

University and Research Support NICCE tests distributed learning tools and uses training

models like serious games to teach STEM;

NICCE is attracting researchers from around the world creating a climate for research and innovation;

The “Energy and Environmental Workforce Center of Excellence,” provides human capital as a feeder for defense firms within the NICCE’s consortium;

Community colleges provide certificates in specific energy domains, capturing career switchers now laid off Focus is training a workforce with specific niche skills and

bringing the people to the incubator’s core defense partners

Where will the incubator be developed? We believe the incubator needs to be located near

Washington DC but this has not been confirmed. We are looking at twenty site locations

We believe the incubator needs to be in the heart of the defense corporate network

We believe the incubator needs to be in a high tech location

We believe the incubator needs to be on a Metro line

We believe the incubator needs to be near an airport

We believe the incubator needs to have recreational activities, shopping and night life with full onsite services for youth working around the clock

We believe the Dulles Corridor could meet our needs-next slides highlight a few researched locations

Why Clean Energy Companies Fail

Not a level playing field

Don’t know the game

Rules are complex for grants-cost share, in-kind, program management and rate structures

Technology focused not market focused

Infrastructure for clean tech is in its infancy 2008 World Bank says international is the opportunity

Big energy just now getting engaged

Elite groups participating and entrance standards high (national labs, Battelle, universities, utility companies and some VCs now)

Lack of product maturation and market validation
