This roundtable will bring together leaders across industry, academia, and workforce development to explore how Framingham can:
1. Leverage its strategic location and transit connectivity
2. Build stronger partnerships between employers and training providers
3. Establish an academic and innovation nucleus
4. Create space for startups, applied research, and emerging technologies
The conversation will focus on practical pathways to building an inclusive, workforce-aligned innovation ecosystem that reflects both regional demand and local opportunity.
