How can Massachusetts seize the opportunity to become the premier Technology Hub?
To answer the question, five local partners (Massachusetts Innovation & Technology Exchange, Massachusetts Network Communications Council, Massachusetts Technology Leadership Council, TechAmerica New England, Massachusetts High Technology Council, TechNet) organized a panel discussion moderated by Secretary Gregory Bialecki (Executive Office of Housing & Economic Development) around the topic: “Capturing Transformative Opportunities in Digital Technology”.
The event started with a keynote speech by Governor Patrick Deval followed by the presentation of the report “The IT Industry: Hub of the Massachusetts Technology Economy” by Dr. Michael Goodman, Associate Professor & Chair of the Department of Public Policy at UMass Dartmouth. The report highlights the implication for the information technology sector on growth and development of the Massachusetts knowledge economy as well as the future challenges for this industry vis-à-vis its foreign and domestic competitors.
