A New Frontier for Tech Talent – New River Valley
Companies find tech talent and innovation in the mountains and valleys of Virginia

Virginia steps up to tackle Americas rural growth challenge. In this issue of the Virginia Economic Review, it explores the various dimension of America’s rural growth challenge, and feature thought leaders and others who are making a difference.

Stephen Moret, President and CEO of VEDP shares his vision that Virginia has embraced a relatively radical goal – to position every region of the Commonwealth for economic growth.

Working together to achieve this objective, Brendan Walsh, SVP of Partner Relations at 1901 Group shares how 1901 Group was formed, how an assembly-line philosophy applied to enterprise IT services, and why the New River Valley was the perfect choice for the company – offering magnificent mountains, eclectic small-town vibes, arts and culture, and a business-friendly, academically enriched environment.

1901 Group CEO and founder Sonu Singh had a vision. He began thinking about what the second Industrial Revolution would like in IT.

“The origin of our company, the essence of our firm, is about automation, is about streamlining, is about continual improvement.”
