The free site will reportedly cover the sectors and the people driving the MA economy in areas such as venture capital, life sciences, medical devices, startups, and emerging technologies, including robotics and big data.

Innovative companies and technologies that trace their origins back to Boston include Facebook and Zipcar as well as Genome mapping, Internet security and the World Wide Web consortium, among many others.
