Microsoft will create <A HREF="http://www.microsoft.com/presspass/press/2005/dec05/12-05GLFAsiaInnovationCtrsPR.mspx">a global network</A> of 90 MICs (Microsoft Innovation Centers) designed to foster strong, self-sustaining local software economies. Microsoft will operate the centers in alliance with local governments, academic institutions, industry organizations and software vendors, with the ultimate goal of fueling long-term economic growth in regions where the centers are located. The MIC network will begin serving local regions immediately from 60 existing Microsoft facilities in Australia, Brazil, China, Germany, Japan, Malaysia and other countries--all of which have aligned their programs and services to help spur local software innovation and economic development. An additional 30 MICs will open in 2006, with facilities planned in Korea, India and South Africa.
