May 12th Emerging Technologies Listening Tour Event

On May 12, 2009 , the Joint Committee on Economic Development and Emerging Technologies will hold the second in its ‘Listening Tour’ series at the Massachusetts Technology Collaborative, located at 75 North Drive in Westborough.

These sessions are intended to provide committee members with a comprehensive overview of our economic challenges and opportunities as they consider legislative actions that will impact economic development in the Commonwealth.

Because a main strength of our economy is our ability to innovate, the May 12th event will focus on emerging technologies and entrepreneurship in the Commonwealth.  We specifically aim to highlight programs that assist emerging technologies and emerging companies.  Presenters will include:

Massachusetts Technology Collaborative
Massachusetts Technology Transfer Center
Massachusetts Technology Development Corporation
MassDevelopment
Massachusetts Life Sciences Center
Massachusetts Clean Energy Center

We hope that you can join us as we engage in these discussions.  The session will run from 10:00 am until 2:00 pm.  For further information, please contact Michael H. Wright, Policy Analyst for Senator Karen Spilka, at Michael.H.Wright (at) state.ma.us or (617) 722-1640.
