Mid-Atlantic

Washington DC is the capital of the US in many ways - as a knowledge center with the Smithsonian and the Library of Congress; historically with the rich colonial roots and presidential heritage; politically as the center for US government with Capitol Hill, the White House and the Supreme Court; and culturally with it's diverse international representation. DC is the nation's power center.

However, the surrounding Mid-Atlantic region cannot be overlooked. Virginia's aggressive growth and telecommunications / internet progress has been explosive - making Fairfax County a world leader in support of communications infrastructure. Additonally, the life sciences leadership in Maryland represents another unique innovation in the Mid-Atlantic region.
