  10. NH SMHT BIA Online Survey • Membership of the Business and Industry Association and High Technology Council, specifically those members who have been identified as SMHT companies. • Respondents ranked the competitive pressures they operate under, in particular when considering continuing or increasing production at a NH-based facility. • Ranked the importance of factors on a scale of 1 to 5 (1=low importance to 5=high importance).

  11. NH SMHT under pressure

  12. NH SMHT legislative priorities

  13. NH SMHT policy priorities

  14. NH Manufacturing competes nationally and globally • Globalization, offshoring and outsourcing, the rapid pace of technological change, and rising costs of healthcare and other labor costs all have a more profound impact on manufacturing than on any other industry. • Consider globalization – the average school administrator or housing professional probably does not think much about the Far East. But because state-of-the-art manufacturing facilities are now operating in China and elsewhere in the world, NH’s local manufacturers have to stay current with the latest technological advances just to stay in the game.

  15. NH competes with the world on wages

  16. NH competes with the world on energy prices

  17. NH competes with the world on healthcare costs

  18. NH competes with the world on corporate taxes

  19. How can State policy encourage SMHT? • Healthcare policy • Costs most significant competitive pressure for SMHT • Encourage workforce development and education • Human capital is a key determinant to economic prosperity • Invest in infrastructure • Effective use of state resources • Tax policy • Business tax credits do foster targeted activity
