In Vermont, innovation and community

 go hand in hand.

Innovation and economic development in rural areas are not easy. But, as with most things in Vermont communities, we succeed by finding ways to share in the work that needs to be done. With an engaged group of innovators, community organizers, and entrepreneurs sharing ideas, building partnerships and collaborating, we can fully realize our potential. 

This is a platform for Vermont's thinkers and innovators to connect. 

 

Ground breaking ideas are born in the greenhouse, on the shop floor, or in the laboratory; working for a Fortune 500 company from a co-work space or launching a start-up, from those still in school or in their third career. We aim to bring all of those people together. If you are looking for a space to dream and scheme, collaborate and think laterally to make our state the best it can be, join in.
