Our Vision

Fostering Growth Opportunities for Employers and Citizens

The aim foundation provides unbiased research and education on issues of public interest with the objective of creating an economy that builds opportunity for all the citizens of Massachusetts. The foundation emphasizes issues that affect business growth and competitiveness, economic inclusion of historically underrepresented groups, and the availability of training and education needed to keep Massachusetts as a global center of innovation and commerce.

Massachusetts maintains an enviable economy that generates billions of dollars of output per year through globally recognized industries such as advanced manufacturing, biopharmaceuticals, software, higher education and health care. But the commonwealth also faces enormous economic challenges ranging from unsustainably high business costs and prohibitive housing prices to transportation gridlock and a stagnant population that threatens its ability to grow in the future.

The aim foundation‘s vision is to develop the intellectual underpinnings that will permit collaboration by business leaders, elected officials and other experts on the pressing economic challenges that face Massachusetts. The foundation also seeks to ensure that fairness, diversity and inclusion are constituent elements of economic progress for business owners and workers alike.
