Greater Philadelphia A place where entrepreneurs thrive W ith 11 counties in three states, the nation’s fifth-largest labor force, and an active community of start-ups, the Greater Philadelphia region has a lot going for it. With some of America’s most innovative incubators and accelerator programs, Greater Philadelphia supports a thriving entrepreneurial community. Hundreds of entities across Greater Philadelphia are actively engaged in R&D, with significant spending from the region’s private sector and colleges and universities. More than 20 universities in the region sponsor technology and science incubators, allowing new science and IT businesses access to university talent and equipment. Technology transfer programs, incubators, and science technology centers in Greater Philadelphia support the development and commercialization of new products and treatments, providing state-of-the-art lab and manufacturing facilities, access to capital, and other support for entrepreneurs. Not surprisingly, Greater Philadelphia is among the top regions for venture capital invested, with biotechnology, medical devices and equipment, IT services, and software leading the way. In addition to the strategic location between New York and Washington, the excellent quality of life, and low cost of doing business, area businesspeople who move to or start companies in Greater Philadelphia say there’s another factor that made their decision easy: the people. Greater Philadelphia has the talent today’s businesses need — with more than 100 institutions of higher learning that train people for industries from pharmaceutical R&D to advanced manufacturing. 200 south broad street, suite 700 philadelphia, pa 800.221.0774 outside the u.s.: 001.215.790.3740 selectgreater philadelphia.com Prime Location Greater Philadelphia is composed of New Castle County in Delaware; Burlington, Camden, Gloucester, Mercer, and Salem counties in New Jersey; and Bucks, Chester, Montgomery, Delaware, and Philadelphia counties in Pennsylvania. photos courtesy of select greater philadelphia usairwaysmag.com march 2013 139 http://www.selectgreaterphiladelphia.com http://www.selectgreaterphiladelphia.com http://www.usairwaysmag.com
