Our Vision: A Connected Future.

NETECH (New England Tech Hub) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to advancing technology education, workforce development, and regional collaboration across New England. We connect professionals, students, organizations, and educators through events, learning programs, and community engagement.

Anyone with an interest in technology is welcome to join — including professionals, students, educators, business leaders, and public-sector staff. Membership is open to individuals and organizations across all sectors and levels of experience.

We offer a growing range of programs including tech meetups, certification prep courses, webinars, professional development workshops, networking events, and an annual regional conference. Many programs are free or discounted for members.

We’re always looking for passionate contributors! Visit the Get Involved page on our website and submit a form indicating your area of interest — whether it’s volunteering, speaking, mentoring, or joining a committee. A member of our team will follow up with next steps.

We are supported through sponsorships, grants, event revenue, and individual contributions. All revenue directly supports our mission to expand access to technology education and community-building programs across New England.

While MTUG served Maine for over 30 years, NETECH builds on that foundation to serve the broader New England tech ecosystem, with a stronger emphasis on education, inclusion, and collaboration.
