Grow Local Talent

Challenge Two

Maine wants to help its residents earn the necessary education, skills, and credentials to get a good-paying job or build their own companies in the digital world. How can Maine use technology to deliver career-focused education state-wide?

Attract New Talent

Challenge Three

Much of the world seeks to escape over-crowded and increasingly unsafe cities. How can Maine, with its relatively low population and available land area, offer safe and livable communities and inspire talented people from other states to move to Maine?

Meet Food Demand

Challenge Four

The world demands ever-greater sources of protein, including fish, meat, poultry, and soy. How can Maine, with its abundance of fish, lobster, crab, and other sealife, help meet the greater demand for protein?

Produce Renewable Energy

Challenge Five

The world seeks renewable energy sources, such as hydro, solar, and wind power, to replace non-renewable (and environmentally-harmful) products, like kerosene, home heating oil, diesel fuel, and gasoline. How can Maine use technology to convert its forest resources (trees, wood, soil, and other vegetation) into environmentally-friendly energy sources?
