Seeking to boost tech in Philadelphia, Comcast Corp. plans an “accelerator” program for start-ups and entrepreneurs on the fourth floor of its new tower in Center City, the company said Monday.

It’s the latest project for Comcast that faces huge hiring needs as the company prepares for the opening of its new $1.5 billion tower in early 2018. Comcast has said it needs a vibrant, tech-skilled labor force.
