Information Technology (IT) is vital to the future of Vermont's economy and its gentle environmental footprint is consistent with the Vermont way of life. The information technology industry, consisting of providers of IT equipment and services, is a clean, growing industry that provides high-paying jobs. Furthermore, in the larger sense, information technology plays a fundamental role through the IT user community… business, government, education, the general public… and that role will only increase in the future. A fundamental component of the VITC mission is to foster a nurturing environment for information technology-one that allows it to grow and flourish.
