BFTP Lauded as a Model Statewide Economic Development Program

Pennsylvania Governors Ed Rendell, Tom Ridge, and Dick Thornburgh lauded the Ben Franklin Technology Partners (BFTP) as a model statewide economic development program that helps achieve economic prosperity by supporting technology-based entrepreneurship and technological innovation. On September 15, 2010 the governors participated in a panel discussion and answered questions from 300 tech-based economic development professionals gathered from around the country at the State Science and Technology Institute’s (SSTI) 14^th Annual Conference  in Pittsburgh.  The video link of this event is now posted to the PCN website.  Check out http://pcntv.com/pcnplus/ — the videos are on the right and the title is “Technology Based Economic Development.”
