Building The Future
June 4, 2014
Richmond, VA, Virginia
Earlier this year, The Atlantic launched a series of conversations across the country on how we can “build the future” – of manufacturing, of biotechnology, and of energy.
On June 4, we traveled to Disputanta, VA, for the third event in this program series. With an audience of 200 attendees, we explored new technologies, examined relationships between education and the workforce, and considered the steps needed to grow Virginia's industry.
