Virginia is home to a strong presence of federal research and development activities, including 11 Federally Funded R&D Centers and 23 FLC Laboratories such as the Homeland Security Institute, NASA Langley Research Center, and the Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility.
The world’s economy is changing, and we want the Hampton Roads region of Virginia to excel in:
• creating great jobs
• helping businesses and entrepreneurs thrive
• diversifying our economy
Reinvent Hampton Roads is a community leadership initiative focused on generating high-paying, satisfying jobs to underpin a vibrant economy.
To get started we recruited some of our region’s brightest minds to analyze, explore and prioritize what will make this a region of great opportunities. This inspired new collaborative efforts in our region and led to ideas for game-changing activities.
Now in 2016 ReInvent Hampton Roads is becoming an independent organization focused on improving the region’s economic performance and profile.
