Delivered by Brooke M. Thomson & Hosted by Dell Technologies

The 2024 State of Massachusetts Business Address, hosted digitally by President & CEO of AIM, Brooke M. Thomson, and facilitated by Dell Technologies, sets the agenda for the Massachusetts business community in the coming year. Brooke uses her inaugural address to highlight the significance of Dell’s manufacturing site, a hub for cutting-edge technologies serving vital roles in government and business. She delves into critical issues, from the out-migration of young Massachusetts residents and the housing crisis to energy generation and the $2.5 billion deficit looming over the state’s unemployment insurance system.
