The Pittsburgh Innovation District is a dynamic, dense, connective pulse of innovation rooted in the world-class research of Carnegie Mellon University, the University of Pittsburgh, and UPMC, situated in the heart of Pittsburgh's compact landscape, and following Pittsburgh's greatest tradition: its inventive grit. The Innovation District unites vital research, talent, technology, and an entrepreneurial spirit with the support, culture, amenities, and capital that allow innovators to thrive. Several initiatives are underway to improve the Pittsburgh Innovation District beyond its beginnings as "the best example of a naturally occurring innovation district in the world." The Innovation District is a mechanism by which Pittsburgh will attract new innovators and companies, bring $2.1 billion dollars of R&D into the limelight, and ensure that all of Pittsburgh will benefit from its accelerating economic renaissance. ... ... ...
