Pittsburgh, the once steel capital of the world, is looking to expand its economic identity with life sciences at the heart of its growth. While the steel industry forged Pittsburgh’s past and present, its future is also being crafted in labs, biotechs, and research facilities. For Pittsburgh, expanding from an industrial hub to a life sciences leader … is about vision. And that vision includes nurturing collaboration at every level. In a new Pharma Manufacturing feature, “Pittsburgh’s biotech leap,” Megan Kahn Shaw, president and CEO of the Pittsburgh Life Sciences Alliance, shares, “It’s this sense of working together that gives Pittsburgh its edge. Pittsburgh is known for its down-to-earth, hardworking, and collaborative culture. Bringing that spirit together is our biggest opportunity.”?Matt Smith, chief growth officer at the Allegheny Conference on Community Development, who oversees economic development for the Pittsburgh region, weighs in, too, about Pittsburgh’s edge, especially biotech.?Read more:?https://lnkd.in/eycFsgpm

Yesterday was a tremendous day for Pittsburgh life sciences! ???????? We released an independent analysis of the regional life sciences sector that identifies two “growth platforms” where Pittsburgh has a distinct advantage, differentiated from other global clusters:? ? 1) Data-Driven Healthcare and Connected Devices, and? 2) Next-Gen Therapeutics Development and Manufacturing ? Our president and CEO, Megan Kahn Shaw, said, “The greater Pittsburgh region possesses all the raw ingredients that can help us move from an emerging ecosystem to a true global hub for human health innovation. This is a once-in-a-generation opportunity, and success hinges on a shared commitment by all stakeholders and decisive action by key entities and leaders. With the right investments and a coordinated strategy from government, universities, and private industry, the region can catalyze decades of job growth and wealth creation.” ?
