Join Naomi Berlin of Massachusetts' Executive Office of Economic Development and Adam Freudberg of the Massachusetts Military Asset & Security Strategy Task Force for a conversation focused on state resources and opportunities that can drive MetroWest business growth. The program will begin with an overview of how the Commonwealth is making it easier than ever for companies to access state support through the Office of Economic Development’s Business Front Door - a centralized platform that provides businesses with concierge support, including offering tailored recommendations on funding opportunities and an escalation path to get your questions about operating in the state answered. The session will then turn a spotlight on the Massachusetts defense sector and partnerships with military installations like the U.S. Army’s Natick Soldier Systems Center, highlighting how initiatives like the Massachusetts Military Asset & Security Strategy Taskforce and SHIELD (Strategic Hub for Innovation, Exchange and Leadership in Defense) are bringing together industry, academia, and government to accelerate innovation, strengthen supply chains, and expand access to funding, partnerships, and contracts for our defense sector.
