A new era for Greater Washington: Leading the digital economy | WBJ Viewpoint
Greater Washington is poised to lead the digital economy—if we seize the moment.
In a new piece for the Washington Business Journal, our President & CEO, Jack McDougle, outlines a bold vision for our region’s future.
As federal priorities shift and technology accelerates, Greater Washington has the assets to lead in industry sectors such as cybersecurity, bio-health, quantum computing, and a globally competitive workforce. But we need bold collaboration to modernize education, scale clean energy, and align around shared priorities.
