The White House announced the establishment of 31 technology hubs across the United States and Puerto Rico, aiming to promote innovation and job creation in various industries. Funded by a $500 million grant from last year’s CHIPS and Science Act, these hubs will focus on critical technologies like biotechnology, quantum computing, and advanced manufacturing. The initiative seeks to expand tech investments beyond major cities like Austin, Boston, and San Francisco, spreading economic opportunity throughout the country. Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo noted overwhelming interest in the program, with 400 applications received. The initiative aligns with President Biden’s goal of decentralizing economic growth and job opportunities.
