MassTLC 2014 Annual Meeting:  
The State of Technology- Six Trends for 2014

Featuring Dr. Michael Mandel,
Chief Economic Strategist, Progressive Policy Institute

Massachusetts is poised for strong tech-driven growth into the foreseeable future. The sector has performed well since the last recession and trends are converging that could propel further growth in the years ahead. Smart public investments should accelerate this, while failure to act could stall it. With a new mayor, governor, senate president, and other public officials taking office over the coming months, the stakes could not be higher.

Join business and technology leaders from the public and private sector for an in-depth look into the biggest trends and the impact of tech on the Massachusetts economy as we release MassTLC’s 2014 State of Technology Report. In addition, we will take a deep dive into policy issues that impact tech, including the NSA’s access to data, patent trolls, immigration, and other important issues that affect your business.

We will conclude our program with the economic outlook for 2014. Dr. Michael Mandel, chief economic strategist at the Progressive Policy Institute in Washington, will provide his analysis of the key innovation sectors that will drive growth in areas such as big data, cloud, IoT, mobile, security, and, robotics, and how all of these come together to propel healthcare, education, manufacturing, sustainability, and other industries that rely heavily on technology.
