Excerpt

Greater Boston has been resilient amidst the whirl of the Great Recession, and the region’s technological prowess has been part of its success, but will technology start-ups continue to be an economic engine in the future?   Moreover, even if technological success endures as a mainstay of the Boston economy, will technology start-ups provide employment for ordinary workers without advanced degrees?    Are there sensible steps that state and local government can take to further strengthen the region’s technology eco-system?
