Wannalancit Mill

An abundance of red brick mills serves as a reminder of the Merrimack Valley’s place as the birthing ground of America’s industrial revolution. Mill and factory jobs sustained the Valley’s economy for over 100 years. However the region is evolving to become the heart of a technology corridor that stretches from Southern New Hampshire to Massachusetts. The Merrimack Valley supports major industry clusters in fields such a biomed/biotech, telecommunications, and affiliated high technology fields positioning itself to be at the forefront of the next wave of economic growth.

As the region continues to transform itself many government and quasi-government organizations are positioned to provide the crucial planning, financial, and strategic resources vital to the growth of all sizes and types of industries in the region. The Merrimack Valley Venture Forum has a unique opportunity to hear the details surrounding a recent comprehensive economic study of our region, see a demo of a web based resource for entrepreneurs and hear from a panel of experts in labor, financing and strategic business support. Join us to take part in an energetic review and discussion of not just “what’s out there?”, but learn how your organization can benefit from government agencies and resources.
