Tech. in West Virginia

Jeff Imel is a success story for state tech leaders. The owner of Air Robotics, LLC relocated his company to West Virginia from Indiana 18 months ago and it is a decision he says he praises daily. He now thanks the state for helping his business, that is an aerospace company that designs and manufactures blended wing body Airborne Vehicle Systems, to thrive.

“I tell all my colleagues that West Virginia is the place to be. The opportunities here with the support places like the Robert C. Byrd Institute provide is comparable to none across the country,” Imel said.

That is the same message Tech Connect WV wants to provide to the rest of the world.
The linked article is a good summary of the successes and challenges associated with the development of the technology sector in West Virginia.

The weekly State Journal is also among the best printed publications in the state.
