Join Gregory Bialecki, Massachusetts Secretary of Housing and Economic Development as he discusses the innovation agenda for Massachusetts. In a July 2009 “Declaration of Innovation,” posted on his new blog, Secretary Bialecki, stated that “the Commonwealth must have a deliberate innovation agenda as a core element of our economic development strategy.” Late last year, he described 10 key parts of that agenda which ranged from better marketing to providing start-ups with gap funding and a variety of policies in between. How were these elements chosen, how are they are being carried out and what are the preliminary results of these efforts?
