BREW WEEK INTERNATIONAL

Join the Innovation Revolution

 

Revolutionary Innovation has always had a home in Massachusetts – in the 18th Century, our merchants and shipbuilders created the China Trade, an audacious and profitable international enterprise. In the 1800s, our visionary manufacturers mass-produced textiles, shoes, and metal products for worldwide markets, and their 20th Century successors did the same with computers, software and biotechnology. Today, across our state, technologists, entrepreneurs, and creative professionals are at work creating the next wave of an ongoing Innovation Revolution.

 

Join us.

 

Massachusetts innovators benefit from an atmosphere that fosters connection and collaboration. There is a wealth of potential partners, and proximity to vibrant, world-class research enterprises in virtually any field – from materials science to new media. These intellectual resources can help bring your vision to fruition, or take you in directions that you didn’t know existed.

 

Join us.

 

Massachusetts has also been an information technology hub since the 1950s, when our pioneering researchers helped invent digital computing. Today, we are home to over 10,000 digital technology companies, representing about one-fifth of our economic output. Our rich technology ecosystem spawns and supports these, and new, enterprises constantly, as entrepreneurs and corporations explore new tech-enabled avenues in robotics, digital media, health care, life sciences, defense, and clean energy.

MassTLC’s “Innovation 2011” unConference

Four generations of entrepreneurs will gather on October 28, 2011 with the focus on early stage entrepreneurship and driving innovation.  Unlike the planned sessions and passive audiences of typical conferences, MassTLC’s Innovation 2011 is an unConference where the agenda is formed organically by all attendees the day of the event. No podiums. No stages. Just small interactive sessions taking a deep dive into issues that drive innovation and the success of your company. A professional facilitator helps make it happen.  Learn more HERE.
