In an October 20th article on Telegram.com, Ann Hurd of Intel Corporation states that “[Massachusetts] has a business environment that, as long as it remains predictable, is worth the higher cost of doing business.” This is the same article in which Massachusetts is noted as being the 4th top exporter of high-tech products in the US.
Massachusetts saw a small (0.9%) growth in the high-tech exports category in 2008. Yes, you read that correctly, Massachusetts’ high-tech exports rose during a year when the nation’s (and state’s) economy crashed.
According to Ann Johnson, of TechAmerica, high-tech goods account for one-third of the Bay State’s exports.
Not surprisingly, the press release on TechAmerica also notes that high-tech exports — nationally — were down in the first two quarters of 2009. Specifics on MA exports during the first two quarters was not noted in the release.

You wouldn’t expect that the guys inside the unassuming building on a quiet stretch of road not far from Interstate 190 in Sterling are manufacturing some truly far-out stuff, but they are.
