Baltimore, Boston Move to Build Ed-Tech Hubs

Baltimore and Boston are cities with their own distinct economic identities, but more recently they’ve shared an economic-development strategy: Both have organizations working aggressively to establish their metro regions as hubs for educational technology companies and startups.

The efforts in Baltimore are being led by an educational technology advisory group focused on building support in the city and across Maryland. In Boston, a nonprofit that began by creating a networking group across the city has now launched an “accelerator” program designed to help young ed-tech businesses succeed.
