Philadelphia has the ability to rewrite the rules on collaborative innovation. While knowledge used to be power, it is now knowledge-sharing that can create a long-term, sustainable ecosystem of growth.
If University City is a ‘hive’ of innovation, there’s no queen bee – it’s an orchestrated network of worker bees challenging antiquated beliefs and building a honeycomb of ingenuity. In our hive, we have access and exposure to world-class talent and technology from nearly every technical field. I believe that the most important breakthroughs of the 21st century will come from the confluence of groundbreaking advances in multiple disciplines. The most promising areas, which also happen to be historic strengths for Philadelphia, are in materials, biotechnology and electronics.
