Hi Everyone,

Autumn brings both change and opportunity for the Vermont Technology Alliance. Over the past nine months, I’ve heard incredible stories of innovation, resilience, and commitment to Vermont. Whether it’s a five-person startup serving global clients or some of our largest companies, I hear the same themes: we’re passionate about building a thriving tech community, and we’re all facing challenges in hiring, healthcare, and housing. 

That’s why the VTTA Board and I will be sharing a new strategy update in the weeks ahead. We believe this is a defining moment for the Tech Alliance. 

In the meantime, there’s a lot happening this fall. October is packed with events like Tech Jam, PyData, Biotech Brews & Banter, and we’re excited to launch Tech Tuesday breakfasts, happening the first and last Tuesday of every month. It’s a simple, fun way to connect, share ideas, and build momentum together. 

Thank you for all the work you do for each other, your companies, your teams, and for Vermont. The Alliance is here to help amplify that work and strengthen the community we’re building together.

Respectfully,

Adam
