Every week the region’s top executives turn to the publication to find breaking news, engaging commentary and useful business information. Columns like Strategy Session, offering advice and suggestions on a wide range of business-related topics, and Shop Talk, providing fun facts and punchy pieces of business gossip, add some spice to this hard-hitting weekly.
In the past few years, the editorial staff has garnered several a-wards, including “Best Editorial,” “Best Local Spin Business or Eco-nomic Story” and “Best Explanatory Journal-ism” from the Associ-ation of Area Business Publications. A truly regional voice, Hartford Business Journal is delivered to its target audience in 54 towns within six counties that lie east and west of the Connecticut River.
Thirty-three percent of the nation’s population lives within a 500-mile radius of Hartford. Excellent primary roadways, along with Bradley International Airport, make traveling to and from the Greater Hartford area a breeze.
The area has long been known as an influential manufacturing center where products such as nuclear reactors, missile components, aircraft engines, and medical equipment are designed and produced. The region includes many well-known Fortune 500 companies, such as United Technologies Cor-poration, and its Otis Elevator, Hamilton Stan-dard and Pratt & Whitney divisions; Stanley Works and the Barnes Group.
Hartford is renowned as the Insurance Capital of the World, housing the nation’s powerhouse insurance firms: Aetna Inc., Travelers Property Casualty Corp., Cigna, The Hartford, Phoenix Home Life Mutual Insurance Company, The United Health Care Company and LincolnLife.
Though large corporations have made a home here, the MetroHartford Chamber of Commerce says, “small to mid-sized businesses are the backbone of the region’s economy. The strength of business and industry in Central Con-necticut is reflected by a median household income of more than $59,600 and an average per capita income of $24,032, which is 33% higher than the national average.
