Where They’re Most Active in the U.S. Liberal technocrats are concentrated in regions that combine elite education, tech infrastructure, and progressive governance: - San Francisco Bay Area / Silicon Valley: The epicenter of tech-driven liberalism, blending innovation with social values. - Boston / Cambridge: Anchored by MIT and Harvard, this area is a hub for policy innovation and academic technocracy. - Washington, D.C.: Where liberal technocrats influence federal policy, especially in agencies and think tanks. - Seattle: Home to major tech firms and a progressive civic culture. - New York City: A center for media, finance, and data-driven social policy. These areas are often described as the “technocratic archipelago”—islands of influence in a broader, more ideologically diverse nation.
