As reported in the Potomac Tech Wire, high tech exports from Virginia rose $3.9 billion last year. This marks the fourth consecutive year the state has been on the rise. These figures come from the  DC-based high-tech trade association AeA (http://www.aeanet.org/PressRoom/prac_TCS_2008.asp).

Virginia IT exports rose $1.1 billion over 2006, the largest of any state. This was largely due to semiconductor exports. This jump has moved Virginia from 21st to 11th in the U.S. 

Tech exports in Maryland totaled $1.5 billion. This was a 10%, mostly due to communications equipment. Exports in DC declined $4 million to $88 million, a decrease of $4 million.
