Convergence

The John Adams Innovation Institute, the economic development division of the Massachusetts Technology Collaborative, is working to strengthen the state's knowledge- and technology-based economy. Convergence is a new electronic communication from the Innovation Institute that profiles emerging issues and activities within the Commonwealth’s Innovation Economy. 

In a manner similar to how our Governing Board has chosen to engage, Convergence intends to set out  the issues, challenges and choices confronting practitioners and policymakers as they address the economic and social conditions necessary for vibrant growth in the Innovation Economy. This communication is an invitation to join in a broader dialogue about important issues  facing Massachusetts.     

The name Convergence was chosen to underscore the fact that no single individual or institution can guarantee the Commonwealth’s future growth; rather, it is the “convergence” of our collective wisdom and capabilities, at every level and in every discipline, that will provide for our common future.
