With Penn State’s recent announcement of the next six communities to receive seed-grant funding through its Invent Penn State initiative, the University’s economic development effort has grown to include 13 hubs for innovation spread across Pennsylvania.
Penn State Altoona, Berks, Great Valley, Schuylkill, Shenango and York were announced as the second wave of grant recipients during a special event at the Capitol in Harrisburg today (June 20).
Envisioned as a way to leverage the University’s size and broad research strengths to help drive job creation, economic development and student career success, Invent Penn State debuted with an introduction by President Eric J. Barron in January 2015.
