SPIR

The Strategic Partnership for Industrial Resurgence (SPIR) is an industry support service offered by SUNY engineering schools at Binghamton, Buffalo, and Stony Brook.

SPIR was established to strengthen New York State's small and mid-sized businesses by helping them apply technology solutions to make them more competitive. This is essential in today's rapidly changing and technology-dependent business environment.

To accomplish its mission, Binghamton's SPIR program assists small and mid-sized businesses through partnership projects staffed by Watson College Engineering, Computer Science and System Science students, faculty and client personnel. SPIR was initiated at Binghamton University's Watson College in 1994 with strong support from the Governor and Legislature.

An estimated $90 million in wages-per-year is generated by the approximately 2,500 jobs that SPIR has helped our partners create and retain.
