Massachusetts Priority Industries

A regional analysis of industries of New England conducted in the spring of 2000 by the University of Massachusetts at Amherst. In that study, five industrial groups were identified as having significant energy, economic, and environmental significance to Massachusetts. To begin, the MAIOF program will focus its energy on assisting these industries to identify their technology needs for the 21st century.
