Welcome to the birthplace of artificial intelligence and a global hub for robotics.
Pennsylvania’s pioneering legacy is closely linked to Carnegie Mellon University, where the field of AI was invented and the world’s first doctoral program in robotics was founded. Today, companies across the state are trailblazing innovations in autonomous vehicles, space exploration, advanced manufacturing, precision medicine, and beyond.
Home to two of the nation’s top 10 universities for robotics, Pennsylvania is a magnet for top talent in the field. Companies here benefit from cutting-edge R&D institutions, a strong network of venture capital opportunities, and billions of dollars in federal funding through the CHIPS Act, Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, and Inflation Reduction Act. We’re staying ahead of the curve to build breakthrough technologies that will redefine industries.
Companies like Pittsburgh’s Astrobotic are already proving that in the Commonwealth, the sky’s not the limit — it’s just the beginning. With $4 million in state funding to expand their headquarters, they’re leading innovation in space robotics for lunar and planetary missions. The next decade in Pennsylvania promises even more growth, with nearly 17,000 net new jobs projected across our robotics and technology industries. Bring your business here to push the boundaries of possibility.
