No. 1: Columbus, Ohio. In 1997, the Battelle Memorial Institute, Ohio's largest research center, based in Columbus, managed a single lab for the U.S. Department of Energy with an annual budget of $1 billion. A decade later, Battelle oversees seven major laboratories for different federal agencies; current budget: $4 billion.The institute has become a force in almost every area of emerging technology, especially life sciences and energy research. One of its children, Velocys, is working on a way to cut the cost of capturing the 3 trillion cubic feet of the world's stranded natural gas by converting it to easily transportable liquid.
If Columbus seems a surprising choice, consider the up-and-coming tech hotbeds that are Nos. 2 through 5 on Auerswald's list. In order, they are Santa Fe, N.M.; Palm Beach County, Fla.; Houston; and Milwaukee, Wis.
