Baltimore Tech Hub competes for $70 million in federal funding

After being designated a national tech hub last fall, the Baltimore region is moving on to compete for $70 million in federal funding that would help establish a framework to create tens of thousands of jobs and generate hundreds of millions of dollars of investment. The region, which includes Baltimore and seven surrounding counties, was selected in October as one of 31 cities or regions for the federal Tech Hubs Program, putting the area in line for a share of $10 billion in federal funding over five years.
