What is the Knowledge Corridor?
The Knowledge Corridor is a cross-state region that includes western Massachusetts and Hartford, CT... a region bound by Interstate-91. Anyone standing on the MA-CT line at rush hour will witness the movement of workers, suppliers and customers that conduct business across-borders. Within its geography, the Knowledge Corridor includes 1.6 million people, 29 higher education institutions, over $180 million in sponsored research, a worldclass airport (Bradley International Airport) and other assets, making it an ideal location to locate or do business.
Its central location offers access to major markets.
And it has an accessible, convienent transportation network.
The strengths of the region can be seen by a variety of important indicators:
