The Strategic Partnership for Industrial Resurgence (SPIR) was established on July 1, 1994, by the State of New York to utilize the extensive engineering resources of the SUNY system (the Engineering Colleges and Programs at Stony Brook, Buffalo, Binghamton and New Paltz) to help industry in the State compete more effectively. SPIR fills a critical gap in existing State industrial assistance programs by providing technically advanced multidisciplinary assistance on a fast turn-around basis. The intent is to help companies improve their market posture, retain existing employees and create new jobs.
