Helping growing industries reach their max potential
We're driving growth in Pennsylvania, and we're doing it with focus. Taking a data-based approach to our efforts, we have identified five key industry sectors where we should target resources and maximize opportunities for growth: Agriculture, Energy, Life Sciences, Manufacturing, and Robotics and Technology. The Shapiro Administration's ambitious Ten-Year Strategic Plan for Economic Development in Pennsylvania - the first one created for Pennsylvania in nearly twenty years - sets forth a plan to bolster economic development in these industries through smart investments and public-private partnerships. Focusing on these sectors will enable us to build out industry clusters in high-growth, high-value industry segments, and to double down in industries of historic and economic significance to PA.
Life Sciences and Robotics and Technology are high-growth areas where we can harness existing assets and accelerate the growth of our economy through selective and targeted investments. Manufacturing, Agriculture, and Energy are areas where we can leverage historic economic strengths, existing skills, and expertise to protect our built-in advantage. The quality of these jobs matters, and by focusing on these industries we will position Pennsylvania to compete for high-wage, family-sustaining jobs in all regions of the Commonwealth.
