Virginia is pushing the technology sector as a key component in adding new jobs to remain competitive in the global marketplace.
At the March Regional Chamber luncheon, Virginia Secretary of Technology Aneesh Chopra discussed how strategic partnerships, infrastructure investments and public-private partnerships with academic institutions are essential to strengthening Virginia’s advantage in technology innovation.
To illustrate the economic importance of such actions, Chopra stated that even as Virginia lost jobs in 2008, its technology sector saw a 1.8% gain.
