I as Governor you know do this because I
really want Massachusetts to succeed and we're going to
succeed and we do really well and lean in some key sectors where our
knowledge base is such a great state and we have these assets you
look around the country and there are places that are on the
Move now and they're looking to do different things but at the end of the
day you know I think Boston Cambridge the history here of the
human and intellectual Capital the brain power this is where this
is where it's at and and because everything's so close together
approximate
there's a lot of activity engagement and
then we've got a pretty big Venture Community Tier Two And so
there's a lot of there's a there's a lot um here I've said I want us to
be the global leader when it comes to clean technology when
it comes to addressing climate when it comes to harnessing you know
all of what we can through through really diverse portfolio of
options and what Advent does is very much part of that but
and we're definitely going to work together
I look I look forward to it and I want to thank
you so much Dr Gregorio for inviting me to be and inviting our team
to be part of this this day-to-day um I'm really thrilled to be
joined by so many great colleagues I'll start with our
undersecretary for energy Mike Judge who's here and just started at
DEA under secretary for economic development Ashley Silva and
our secretary of Workforce Development as well we also have our wonderful
representative for our Massachusetts Clean Energy Center thank you
so much for all the work that you all are doing
making important investments in technology
and in companies that we want to see grow and thrive none of
this gets done without the work and partnership and that includes
partnership with the local and state level and to that end we
have our fabulous state senator saldina medical who is who is here
and maybe we should say something in a minute I uh I'm sure he will yeah um
and also I know we have a representative from our U.
S department of energy so it's about
Partnerships local state and federal to get us done look as governor of
this great great state our greatest calling card is our human
and intellectual capital and we're sitting in the heart of it what
both Boston what Cambridge has in terms of research development
Innovation the potential that is why you come here that is
why people come here and study it is why we want people to stay
here not only research and incubate but also move from the
laboratory to actual manufacturing but none of this happens
none of that is possible without r d and we are
just so thrilled that Evan has decided to
open this facility here in Charlestown Massachusetts it is
incredibly exciting you are you are on the front lines in our Global
fight to address climate change and all that is happening and I can
tell you this that as Governor I've committed to doing
everything we can to address climate this is part of it and you know to
that end we recently put forward one percent of our state budget 55
billion a year budget for the first time ever one percent
is going to go towards clean energy and
climate that's important we're tripling the investment in our
clean energy center because funding from our Massachusetts clean energy
center helps see that helps fund uh work that advent and others
out there are doing so we're really really excited about this
and uh know that we're a team that is about Innovation because the status
quo hasn't worked and we are where we are so we need to think
about doing things in new and in different
ways and I think harishing the public
private Partnerships is so so key and so um thrilled to to be
here today it's really thrilled to be here today and you know I lived in
Charlestown it's amazing to see all that has has transpired
here but our great state senator Sal de Domenico um it must be
something to come in and see all that's happening here yeah amazing you
know when but it's great to be here because I was here
probably I don't know how long ago maybe months ago yeah and the
walls went down the lights went down we were walking through
empty
space and it's hard to imagine how it's going
to come together I love how it work a lot of hard work a lot
of dedication and a lot of foresight on your part thank you by the whole
team and Advent but also you know taking a chance in our
community in our state and you know as the governor said we
