Our region has several entrepreneurs who have been successful in this space and could be great mentors for this initiative!
SRI has been selected as a Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) Regional Commercial Accelerator to help bring technology out of the lab and into the real world, helping to boost the commercialization of early-stage technologies critical to U.S. national and economic security. We're searching for qualified mentors and entrepreneurs who will help us harness SRI’s expertise to speed up technology transition in aerospace, robotics, AI, biotechnology, materials science, and other high-priority breakthrough technology areas.

“Governor Shapiro and I are all in on life sciences,” Rick Siger, Pennsylvania Department of Community & Economic Development Secretary, said at the TEConomy Partners event we hosted last month. “We're excited about things happening in life sciences all across Pennsylvania, but we’re particularly excited about things happening here, in southwest Pennsylvania and in Pittsburgh.” 🖤💛 Secy. Siger's excitement was echoed throughout the day by companies who chose Pittsburgh as the town to pursue their innovative endeavors. “We know that efforts like this one, that Megan Kahn Shaw is leading, are helping to position us as a global leader,” he said. “It takes this kind of collaboration to win in innovation, to win in development, to win in manufacturing. You have our commitment.”
David Hallal and ElevateBio are betting on Pittsburgh. 🖤💛 “You can’t stop innovation, and that’s what we’re betting on,” David Hallal, CEO, Chair, and Co-Founder at ElevateBio said at our TEConomy Partners event in October. “We don't want to just settle on how we manufacture today; we want to think about unique ways to push the industry forward, share in the IP that we create together, and make the world a better place through work with the academic centers and investigators here.”🧑💻👩🏽🔬👩🏻🏫
“There’s something special about the culture of people here in Pittsburgh, about the work ethic, about the way that people connect to human experience, and how we can improve the way that we live in this world,” Julia Chou, COO at Abridge, shared at our TEConomy Partners event in October. “The story of Abridge feels a lot like the story of Pittsburgh — a story of the culmination of AI, hard science, clinical science; and the story of how Pittsburgh has reinvented itself from a very working class, steel mill society to one where healthcare is the predominant industry. We’ve been able to serve people for whom this really matters in healthcare.” ⚕️🏥

The Pittsburgh Life Sciences Alliance is excited to join the BioBreakfast community tomorrow (Tuesday, November 19th) for a presentation and networking. Experts consistently rank the Pittsburgh region among the world's top 20 emerging life sciences hubs. PLSA recently released a report that identifies two “growth platforms” where Pittsburgh has a distinct advantage, differentiated from other global clusters. The report also outlines a set of strategic recommendations that, together, can help us move from an emerging ecosystem to a true global hub for human health innovation. Our President & CEO, Megan Shaw, will present key findings about what sets Pittsburgh's life sciences ecosystem apart and what actions are needed to capitalize on these opportunities. We'll also outline the collaborative efforts already underway and what's on the horizon for 2025. BioBreakfast The Riviera Building 350 Technology Drive Tuesday, November 19th from 8 - 10 am
