The Adirondack Initiative for Wired Work

The Adirondack Initiative for Wired Work hosted by Clarkson University represents a group of energized regional leaders and working professionals committed to responsible and sustainable economic growth in the Adirondack North Country Region of New York State.

Our vision is to advance creative work and lifestyle choices by promoting technology and services that encourage commerce and entrepreneurship with negligible impact on the natural environment.  While advancing economic opportunities, we want to preserve the unique character of the communities that share the Adirondack Park with wildlife and recreation enthusiasts alike.

By 2019, our goal is to add 2019 corporate telecommuters, mobile workers, and working wired entrepreneurs to the region in support of green tech commerce and new economic opportunities that will grow the base of regional residents that sustain vital services for year-round residents and visitors to the region.

Activities:

• Survey:  We are sponsoring a survey to understand the needs of corporate telecommuters, entrepreneurs and mobile professionals interested in “Working Wired” in the Adirondack North Country Region. http://www.zoomerang.com/Survey/?p=WEB229EMVH7YCE
• Business Centers: We are establishing business centers in strategic locations throughout the park that will add convenience and economies of scale to home offices, peer to peer social networking, and educational opportunities.
• Conference: We are sponsoring Forever Wired, an Annual Conference dedicated to advancing issues surrounding life and wired work in the Adirondack North Country Region.  This will be Tuesday, September 7 from noon to 5pm.
