ABOUT THE MASSACHUSETTS TECHNOLOGY COLLABORATIVE:
As a unique public agency, the Massachusetts Technology Collaborative (MassTech) supports the business formation and growth in the state’s technology sector, helping Massachusetts lead the global digital economy. The Massachusetts Broadband Institute (MBI) is a division of MassTech and serves as the central broadband office for the state.
WHY JOIN OUR TEAM:
MBI is leading a transformational, once-in-a-generation opportunity to deliver Internet for All in Massachusetts by expanding access to affordable and reliable broadband service.
