The purpose of the Thames River Innovation is to build prosperity in the Thames River region through authentic innovation, collaboration, and diverse partnerships.

Our group is an unprecedented alliance of public, private, and nonprofit sectors in the communities of New London and Groton in Southeastern CT. Major institutions are collaborating to design a blueprint for the future of our communities that integrates existing plans and projects with new ideas that leverage and enhance all that is unique about this place at the mouth of the Thames River.
