The Washington region has gotten plenty of support from politicians and venture capitalists, but now an unlikely source is considering getting into the action.
Boston Properties President Douglas Linde said he believes there's room for D.C. to compete on a level with Silicon Valley, Cambridge and New York and that his publicly traded real estate investment trust could play a role in that emergence. The region is already home to federal drivers in the field, including the Department of Homeland Security and U.S. Cyber Command, but Linde said the question will be whether those agencies can help drive the tech sector in the District itself.
