Grow Local Talent
Invest in Mainers through early & adult education
Attract New Talent
Grow Maine's workforce through immigration, in-migration and increased participation
Promote Innovation
Take advantage of Maine's natural strengths to facilitate growth

Ubiquitous connectivity for rural and low income communities

Opportunity Intersects
Maine has the potential to take advantage of the areas where global trends intersect with Maine's strengths.
When these areas are combined strategically, the opportunities for great jobs and a diversified economy are further multiplied.
These areas are built on Maine’s foundational economic sectors of tourism, hospitality, health care, education, retail, outdoor recreation and the arts. Without these vibrant sectors, we are not Maine.
