A strategy that's driving success
In 2024, Governor Josh Shapiro announced a bold vision for economic prosperity in the Commonwealth—Pensylvana's first new Economic Development strategy in two decades. We're already executing this ambitious ten-year plan, which serves as our agency's blueprint for investing in economic growth.
By prioritizing strategic investments in our key industries, continuing to make government work at the speed of business, creating an ecosystem that rewards innovation, and building vibrant and resilient regions, we're creating real opportunities for our businesses, communities, and residents.
