The DC region is one of the most politically, culturally and economically important in the world. What encompasses northern Virginia, DC, parts of Maryland and more for most regional data analysis is something slightly different in the minds of some, as we’ve recently discussed.
Over nearly a decade of reporting in DC, we at Technical.ly dip in and out of these identities: from city-living civic technologists to Northern Virginia govtech CEOs to Maryland lab technicians and many in between. They all make up what we call a tech economy.
Today, Technical.ly is releasing our inaugural State of the DC Tech Economy Report, a version of which we are publishing for each of the markets we serve. It comes after a webinar we produced highlighting national trends.
You can download the report for free. All we ask is you share your name, email and job title.
Inside, you’ll find data and analysis, including our own independent exploration of where DC’s tech economy is strong — and where it falls short at a national level. We also have examples of our deepest journalism, including our THRIVING series, and the people we think best exemplify the region, by way of our RealLISTs. We expect this to become a capstone to the region, and to our own work, each year.
