Photonics Industry Roundtable

From the EDC (Jan 18 2011) Manufacturing

1. The EDC organized our first industry sector roundtable discussion of 2011 last week. As usual, we worked with an industry partner and we would like to thank Terry VanderWert from Prima North America for hosting the roundtable and providing a tour of Prima’s state-of-the-art laser production facility. Eight photonics industry representatives joined EDC staff and Mike Vedovelli, Regional Director for the Massachusetts Office of Business Development. The session was timely as the EDC will participate in a lead generation mission at Photonics West, the major photonics industry trade show in the U.S., next week. The photonics executives noted that the industry talent base and our central location for access to supply chains and support services make the region an excellent choice for companies in the industry.

    

   We will continue to work with the photonics industry in the region. Please contact Mike Graney at 413-755-1300 or m.graney@westernmassedc.com if you would like to participate in future discussions or find out about photonics industry opportunities. The EDC will organize other industry sector roundtables during 2011, so please contact us as well if you want to recommend (and particularly host) a sector that we should highlight.
