The CONNSTEP team sends a big thank you to our friends at UConn for featuring our team on the front page of UConn Today. We were also proud to be one of the sponsors of this debut event!

“It’s because we have this incredible hundred plus-year legacy of making incredibly complicated things here. That is where we have a true comparative edge,” said Daniel O’Keefe, the state Commissioner of the Economic Development and Chief Innovation Officer.
