Innovation Lives at the Intersection
Pittsburgh’s economy is shaped by world-class strengths in life sciences, robotics, and artificial intelligence. These industries often overlap — powering breakthroughs in everything from autonomous systems to digital health. With deep research roots and a growing commercial footprint, the region is building what’s next at the intersection of advanced technology and real-world application.
Driving this momentum are three sector leaders: the Pittsburgh Life Sciences Alliance, the Pittsburgh Robotics Network, and the AI Strike Team. Together, they connect startups, researchers, and investors across disciplines — making Pittsburgh one of the only places where a robotics company, a health tech startup, and an AI research lab might share not just a zip code, but a roadmap.
