At OneValley we believe that entrepreneurship is the most powerful engine for economic and community development. We are built to support cities, regions, states and their NGO and foundation partners in their economic development mission with our Passport and PassportOS platforms, because we believe entrepreneurs everywhere deserve the resources they need to build a business and positively impact their community. That is why I was so honored and excited when I had the opportunity to share my perspectives with the Pittsburgh Business Times on driving economic development and entrepreneurship in Pittsburgh. In the Op-Ed, I discuss coworking at OneValley’s Pittsburgh Innovation Center (Roundhouse), the Pittsburgh Entrepreneurship Platform, emerging entrepreneurship in Pittsburgh, the shift toward distributed work models, and how innovation ecosystems can fuel economic development. Check out the full article here, but these are some highlights:
The last decade has seen the emergence of what researchers at the Brookings Institute call “a new geography of innovation.” During these years, Pittsburgh continued to reinvent itself.
Pittsburgh's burgeoning technology-based startup ecosystem with ecosystems of non-profit and social impact communities further increases the opportunities for diverse founders while driving the more equitable application of innovation toward solving real community-based problems
Driving Pittsburgh's economic development through multi-disciplinary partnerships between community, economic, educational institutions, corporations, and foundations towards fostering an innovative and sustainable entrepreneurial ecosystem.
