CHARLESTON — Since 2011, TechConnectWV has helped launch 51 companies throughout the state, with no plans to slow down heading into the next decade.
Started as a nonprofit in 2006, the economic development organization has grown with one major goal in mind, according to Anne Barth, executive director of TechConnectWV.
“Our main mission is to diversify the state’s economy through technology-based economic development,” Barth said. “We’re interested in those projects that involve some level of intellectual property or require commercialization. It’s the whole idea of converting research into something for the marketplace, whether it’s a new technology or service or product.”
