U.S. Government Announces 31 New Tech Hubs Across 32 States and Puerto Rico

United States of America
North Carolina was not included in the list of selected regions, despite its reputation as a burgeoning tech hub.
The initiative is funded by the $1 trillion bipartisan infrastructure law, which allocates $10 billion for the creation of regional tech hubs.
The tech hubs initiative is part of a broader strategy to spread tech jobs and innovation across the country.
The U.S. government has selected 31 regions across 32 states and Puerto Rico as technology hubs.

On October 23, 2023, President Joe Biden and Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo announced the selection of 31 regions across the United States and Puerto Rico as technology hubs. This initiative is part of the administration's broader strategy to spread tech jobs and innovation across the country, particularly in regions that have been historically overlooked by the tech industry. The tech hubs will receive federal funding and support to foster innovation, job creation, and economic growth. The selected regions include both urban and rural areas, and span 32 states and Puerto Rico. Notably, North Carolina was not included in the list of selected regions, despite its reputation as a burgeoning tech hub. The selection process was reportedly competitive, with over 60 regions applying for the designation. The initiative is funded by the $1 trillion bipartisan infrastructure law, which allocates $10 billion for the creation of regional tech hubs.
