The Tennessee Valley Corridor, a multi-state regional economic development organization, is bringing this year's National Technology Summit back to Oak Ridge, Tenn. where the first Summit wasconvened by Congressman Zach Wamp nearly 15 years ago.
Taking place on May 27-28 at the Y-12 National Security Complex's New HopeCenter, the major themes of this year's event will focus on new missions and opportunities for Oak Ridge and the Corridor; energy innovation in areas such as solar, nuclear and fuel cells; and how to best advance entrepreneurship and regional economic development in the region.

"What first started as a small regional summit in Oak Ridge has now grown nearly 15 years later to become a national award-winning regional economic development organization uniting 10 congressional districts across five states, all working together to demonstrate 'national leadership through regional cooperation' and to create the jobs of the future," Wamp said.
