With just one more year of Mayor Michael Nutter in office, how will his innovation staff lay the groundwork to make open data last beyond this administration?
That’s one thing we’ll be keeping an eye on in 2015.
This month’s Technical.ly Podcast brought together the lead reporters from each of our markets, plus a few contributors, to talk about the year ahead.
In Philly, we touched on the rise of consumer startups, the blessing and curse of having one big-name national investor in town and where Philly fits in when it comes to that constant game of cities comparing themselves to each other.
