Federal decisions are reshaping the economic landscape at a pace that demands both adaptability and foresight. From budget priorities to workforce shifts, D.C. governance changes, and the rapid growth of the digital economy, national policymaking is shaping the Capital Region’s long-term competitiveness.
In the second installment of Agenda Watch 2025, experts from K&L Gates will connect these national shifts to the realities facing regional leaders.
Topics will include:
- How organizations can prepare and navigate volatility
- How governance changes may affect business confidence
- Where investments in technology, infrastructure, energy, and transit could spark new opportunities
