"Pittsburgh — the birthplace of U.S. industrial might in the 20th century — continues to reinvent itself through a combination of imagination, insight, ingenuity, invention and impact. In particular, the convergence of health sciences and AI in Pittsburgh is helping to remake the city as ‘the place’ developing and deploying many of the most critical innovations for our nation and the world.”
