Technical.ly, a leading technology news and events company, is proud to announce the release of its inaugural State of the Philadelphia Tech Economy Report. This report is a comprehensive analysis of the tech economy in Philadelphia, made possible by support from various organizations including the City of Philadelphia Department of Commerce, Ben Franklin Technology Partners of Southeastern Pennsylvania, Morgan Lewis, the Penn Center for Innovation, and Silicon Valley Bank.

The report can be downloaded for free with just your name, email address and job title. Inside you will find data and analysis on the state of technology, startups and innovation in the city. The report also includes examples of Technical.ly’s journalism such as their Thriving series and profiles of individuals who best exemplify the region through their RealLISTs. This report is expected to become an annual capstone to Technical.ly’s work in Philadelphia.

It’s worth noting that while terms such as technology, startups and innovation are used interchangeably with phrases like community, ecosystem, and economy in the report, each phrase has a subtle difference in meaning. The focus of this report is on the economic impact of research, businesses and workforce in emerging inventions like software within the region’s tech industry.
