Now is the time to act decisively to grow Pittsburgh's role as a global leader for robotics and AI. Today, Governor Josh Shapiro, alongside Pittsburgh Robotics Network Executive Director Jennifer Apicella, visited Gecko Robotics, where they highlighted Pittsburgh's leadership in robotics and AI and laid out the importance for strategic investments that will ensure that Pennsylvania remains the Robotics Capital of the World for years to come. With a vibrant community of over 7,000 innovators fueling more than 120 companies, Pittsburgh combines creativity, problem-solving, and practical innovation to address global industry challenges. Governor Shapiro has made it a priority to focus on making meaningful investments in robotics and innovation that will help position Pennsylvania as an economic leader. This aligns directly with our work as we navigate the forefront of the robotics and AI revolution. The opportunity to unite, invest, and influence our future is now. Thank you to Jake Loosararian, CEO of Gecko Robotics for opening their doors to demonstrate how their work helps to protect some of the world’s most critical infrastructure assets using robotics and AI, and thanks to Senator Jay Costa, Representative Aerion Abney, and Allegheny Conference on Community Development’s Benjamin Pratt, CEcD for joining us to speak on the economic impact and importance of our robotics ecosystem.
