Tech Talkin’ Govs 2023: Governors’ innovation vision from their annual addresses

Thursday, February 9, 2023

After a busy election season that saw gubernatorial elections in 36 states, newly elected and re-elected governors delivered their annual State of the State addresses, kicking off new programs and reviewing the conditions of their states. SSTI reviews the speeches every year and covers news of new developments and initiatives the governors have highlighted as they relate to the innovation economy. New programs are laid out here in the governors own words as excerpts from their State of the State or budget addresses.

But I would like to focus on his legacy as it relates to technology-based economic development (TBED) and as a person.
