Washington Region’s Knowledge-Based Economy Built on the creation and dissemination of knowledge: the sources of information, the analysis of information, the transmission of information, policy formulation, advanced education and research, the advancement of ideas and application of new technologies to the solution of global problems. Future growth opportunities will be found in building out the region’s knowledge- and information-based platforms to extend their business-to-business transactions into national and global markets.

Requirements for and Constraints to Future Economic Growth

Talent development, attraction and retention; The region’s quality-of-life; Transportation flexibility and adaptability; Access to capital; Regional branding and national and global marketing; Entrepreneurial culture; Competition among local jurisdictions; and, Public costs and disincentives.

Business Requirements for Growth Talent Development, Attraction and Retention Provide the region’s current and future workers with educational and training resources required to succeed in a competitive knowledge-based economy. Strong public school systems and educational institutions that foster continued skills and professional development are needed to advance the region as a desirable place to live with excellent career pathways at all levels and stages of employment.

The development, attraction and retention of the talent required to support the workforce of the future, spanning entry level, continuing upskilling, advancement, and extending the work life of older workers, is a foundational requirement for growing a knowledge-based economy. The area’s public school systems and local business organizations need to collaborate regionally to increase the quality of program curricula, invest in teacher development, and create internships and job-relevant educational experiences to ensure public school graduates have the necessary capabilities to pursue careers requiring advanced education and skills training.

The Consortium of Universities of the Washington Metropolitan Area needs to expand its mission and membership, and establish a region-wide university/business partnership to provide the talent required for the full career path of the region’s future workforce. The quality of the region’s living environment is critical to its ability to attract and retain the talent it needs to support growth of an advanced economy. There are two key requirements to achieve and maintain the region’s QOL that necessitate regional solution: (1) housing affordability and (2) a transportation system that works.
