T he technology sector, a cornerstone of the nation’s economic growth and global competitiveness in recent decades, stands at a pivotal juncture in 2025. Amidst slowing venture capital flows, heightened regulatory scrutiny, and intensifying geopolitical tensions, the industry faces a complex environment. Nevertheless, areas of tech such as artificial intelligence, agricultural technology, and quantum computing continue to drive innovation and offer growth opportunities. Labor markets remain tight, as demand for skilled talent in these emerging sectors outpaces supply.

Economic development leaders understand that a thriving tech ecosystem helps support every part of a region’s economy. The Missouri Chamber Foundation contracted with Economic Leadership, a consulting firm with a long history of evaluating state technology performance, to build an annual report that demonstrates the current state of the tech sector in Missouri. This is the fourth Technology2030 report produced for the Missouri Chamber Foundation. This report shows statistics for tech as of 2023, the most recent year with final data. The report serves as a resource of data and trends for the economic development community, policymakers, and the tech industry.

The tech sector has a strong and growing presence in the state and this report highlights its vitality and importance to the greater Missouri economy. One job created in the tech industry supports another 1.92 jobs throughout the state economy. This level of job impact was higher than nearly all other industries in the state.
