The goal of
the seminar was to highlight efforts by
federal labs, academia, and economic
development organizations to foster economic
development in Virginia. This seminar had a
particular emphasis on southeastern
Virginia, but also recognized that goals,
challenges and opportunities are applicable
to other regions within Virginia. Panel
presentations were followed by a general
“Open Forum” discussion. Click on
