Esther Surden from NJ Tech Weekly recently posted this article exploring the trend of NJ-bred tech talent (i.e. Princeton, Stevens, Rutgers, NJIT) fleeing the state for NYC and the Valley among others. Why is this and what is it going to take to keep them?
We need to continue to build out the technology ecosystem here in NJ. While the state is known for innovation in other industries, technology hubs are beginning to formulate in Hoboken, Red Bank, Asbury Park, Princeton, etc. We need a few wins to keep people here, otherwise they will seek opportunities out of the state.
