Pittsburgh is shaping the future of what’s next in technology, from aerospace to electric vehicles and Cleantech innovation.
In fact, it may just be the U.S. city that leads the robotic revolution.
As one of the largest robotic ecosystems in the world with an economic impact of over $512 million, Pittsburgh has a concentration of over 100 companies focusing on the advancement of robotics and artificial intelligence. It’s also home to “Robotics Row,” a three-mile stretch of 25+ groundbreaking technology companies, specifically those working on robotics, artificial intelligence (AI), autonomous manufacturing, self-driving vehicles, and more.
Pittsburgh’s already impressive robotics sector is expected to grow even more – in September, the region was awarded a $62.7 million federal Build Back Better Regional Challenge grant to further build out its autonomy and robotics cluster. Ultimately, the investment will extend the benefits and opportunities generated by the autonomy industry to more communities, people and industries in southwestern Pennsylvania, including small- to medium-sized manufacturers.
As Pittsburgh-based companies continue to make major strides in robotics with the help of its robust pipeline of top talent and new federal funding, the city prepares to house and support another 100+ years of innovation, further solidifying its place as a world leader in the sector.
