Take Action!

The terms technology and non-technology are less meaningful today than they were five years ago.

Today what matters most isn't whether companies create or use technology, but how they apply innovation to compete -- innovation in new product ideation, research, growth strategy, and manufacturing.

Globalization and the rapid pace of discovery have changed the rules.

But we're not alone.

Every State in the country is pursuing sustainable economic growth policies, and many countries offer lower cost labor and other operational efficiencies compared to Connecticut.

It will require grassroots leadership, coordination, and political determination for Connecticut to become a place where innovation truly thrives.

Over the next several months, the Council's public policy goal is to create a bold strategic plan and constituency of leaders that will build a vibrant culture of innovation in Connecticut. This long term vision will become reality through grassroots leadership and collective action.

The Connecticut Growth Network is the beginning of this initiative to create a bold strategic growth plan. From these programs, our community will fashion a progressive policy agenda to position Connecticut at the forefront of international research, discovery, and commercialization of new ideas.
