A
Not
all
of
you
know
in
2014,
the
mayor,
through
his
leadership,
held
five
different
round
tables
around
looking
at
a
plan,
a
strategic
plan
to
move
innovation
forward
and
through
those
five
round
tables,
we
created
the
roadmap
for
inclusive
innovation
as
well
as
we
were
also
looking
at
benchmark
cities
from
across
the
world
and
initiatives
that
they
were
doing,
and
we
incorporated
all
of
that
into
determining
that.
We
have
a
mission
statement
now.
The
mission
statement,
as
you
see
here,
is
what
the
whole
basis
of
the
roadmap
is.
A
We
want
to
move
innovation
forward
in
the
city,
but
we
want
to
make
sure
that
no
one's
being
left
behind
as
part
of
that
effort,
we
created
these
six
areas.
These
six
areas
are
reflective
of
what
came
out
of
those
roundtable
sessions,
as
well
as
the
benchmarking
that
I
mentioned,
and
today
we
are
focusing
on
the
business
section
we're
going
through
various
roundtables
each
one
focusing
on
one
of
these
sections.
A
Some
of
you
may
be
in
more
than
one
of
those,
so
today,
I
would
like
to
challenge
you
to
consider
the
progress
that
we've
made
and
help
us
to
decide
where
we're
going.
We
want
to
really
highlight
some
of
the
great
things
that
we
have
done
since
2014.
We
have
16
partnerships
across
the
city
through
these
action
items.
Underneath
these
six
areas,
we've
increased
our
communication
methods,
we've
engaged
new
businesses
around
programs
across
the
city,
but
we're
also
looking
to
see
what
comes
next.
A
A
The
goal
of
the
business
section
in
particular
is
here
before
you:
we
want
to
advance
the
business
sector
and
strengthen
the
vitality
of
the
business
environment
by
empowering
all
entrepreneurs
across
the
city.
As
you
can
see,
we
have
had
various
initiatives
which
I'll
talk
about
a
few
specific
ones,
but
here
are
some
of
the
metrics.
Over
the
last
couple
years,
as
we've
been
working
to
advance
the
original
iteration
of
the
roadmap
we
have
now
gone.
Have
we
now
have
five
complete
actions?
Six
on
track
and
nine
that
are
upcoming.
A
The
details
on
these
specific
actions
in
their
areas
are
in
the
handouts.
You
have
at
your
table
if
you'd
like
to
read
into
them
further
a
couple
examples
of
what
we've
done
in
the
business
section.
One
is
that
we've
launched
this
PGH
lab
program,
which
anja
will
speak
about
in
a
minute,
and
we
are
happy
that
after
our
first
go-around
we're
now
having
two
new
partners
that
we're
going
to
announce,
I
will
let
her
do
that.
I
won't
steal
her
thunder.
A
We
also
have
the
cue
program
connecting
urban
entrepreneurs,
a
partnership
that
focuses
on
on
minority
small
business
entrepreneurs
getting
them
online
so
that
they
have
a
broader
reach
for
their
products
and
services,
and
then
we
also
run
several
series
now
small
business
affairs
across
the
city
in
all
quadrants.
In
2017
we
have
seven
new
small
business
affairs,
planned
they
break
into
two
categories.
We
have
general
small
business
affairs.
A
We
also
have
a
government
edition
which
is
a
bit
unique
and
that
what
it
does
is
it
pulls
together
all
the
government
departments,
Herman
licensing,
all
those
things
that
a
business
would
need
to
know
about
in
there
in
one
room.
So
if
you
have
a
business
that
has
a
touch
point
with
a
city
department
and
you
can
just
come
and
talk
to
everybody
at
once
and
that's
an
innovation
that
we've
come
to
after
talking
to
entrepreneurs.
A
B
Thank
You
Jennifer
preciate
it
it's
great
to
be
here.
I
will
try
to
keep
my
remarks
relatively
brief.
Most
exciting.
Ninety-Five
percent
of
room
has
heard
me
give
this
similar
speech
a
dozen
times,
although
I
don't
think
anyone
heard
me
last
night
at
the
robotics
meet
up.
So
if
you
were
there,
I
apologize
because
it'll
sound,
very
familiar.
B
It
is
the
second
fastest
population
growth
of
Millennials,
with
the
college
degree
in
the
entire
United
States
second
fastest
population
growth
of
people
who
use
bikes
as
their
primary
means
of
work
commute.
It
is
a
changing
city
rapidly
and,
most
importantly,
is
a
changing
demographic
of
a
city
rapidly.
Interestingly,
our
history
is
obviously
one
of
manufacturing.
B
We
had
most
of
the
wealth
in
the
United
States,
not
only
in
the
city,
but
in
my
city
council
district
in
the
early
1900s,
as
we
built
the
world
quite
literally
built
the
world
on
bridges
across
the
globe,
and
today
we
are
again
going
to
build
the
world
just
in
a
completely
different
way,
with
a
new
definition
of
small
business
adidas
new
definition
of
manufacturing.
But
what
is
the
same
is
the
need
to
support
everything
from
the
GED
to
the
PhD.
B
What's
the
same
is
to
be
able
to
sustain
family
with
wages
that
can
support
raising
children
in
a
city.
What's
the
game
is
the
quality
of
life
that
requires
a
commitment
of
capital
dollars
from
the
city
that
are
protect
and
defend,
but
what's
different
is
what
is
the
technology?
Many
people
have
said
in
I
strongly
agree.
Automation
is
a
much
bigger
threat
to
employment
in
the
United
States
than
globalization,
but
the
right
is
not
necessarily
a
bad
thing.
B
You
have
to
see
it
as
the
opportunity
we
could
have
fought
to
keep
the
elevator
operator
or
you
could
have
fought
to
create
departs
in
an
elevator.
We
can
fight
to
keep
the
driver
or
we
can
fight
to
manufacture
the
parts
that
go
into
another
robotic
vehicle
or
into
any
other
robotic
form.
That's
the
reality
of
the
future
and
those
jobs
can
be
created
in
Pittsburgh.
B
They
should
be
created
in
Pittsburgh,
and
certainly
the
recent
250
million
dollar
announcement
and
the
launch
at
al
mono
with
robotic
manufacturing
is
a
key
to
that,
and
the
great
thing
about
that
is.
That
is
an
ability
to
sustain
hundreds,
if
not
thousands,
of
high
end
jobs
for
people
with
PhDs
and
backgrounds
and
computer
science.
That
will
create
it
rebuild
a
tax
base
in
the
city.
So
we
can
reinvest
in
infrastructure.
So
we
can
open
new
schools.
We
can
go
to
Community
Schools
models
all
of
these
things.
B
At
the
same
time,
it
will
create
thousands
and
thousands
of
jobs
in
advanced
and
additive
manufacturing
opportunities
with
community
colleges
and
high
schools
to
teach
18
year
olds.
The
tools
they
need
to
go
and
get
good
middle-class
jobs
with
benefits
at
a
young
age
without
taking
on
college
debt.
That's
the
opportunity
we
face
and
there's
nowhere
in
this
country
better
than
Pittsburgh
poised
to
do
it.
B
But
it
also
takes
a
redefinition
of
what
entrepreneurs
and
a
redefinition
of
of
what
innovation
is.
It
is
not
simply
the
person
in
their
garage
in
squirrel
hill
trying
to
create
the
next
Google.
It
is
also
the
person
you
know
in
a
garage
in
beltzhoover,
thriving
to
open
an
auto
repair
shop
or
the
person
in
shadyside
whose
dream
it
is
to
have
their
own
design
company
or
the
person
in
homewood
who
wants
to
start
their
own
robotics
firm.
B
Everything
is
entrepreneurship
and
innovation,
and
it
is
the
city's
job
to
support
it,
and
one
of
the
greatest
things
I've
seen
under
this
administration
in
the
last
couple
of
years
is
the
work
in
there
in
this
room,
but
it's
of
and
Jennifer
and
their
team
with
Henry
pie
and
Henry's
team
I.
Don't
Henry.
B
Do
you
gotta,
see
Henry
I
wish
you
added
team
Henry
to
really
open
up
doors
for
small
business
owners
and
it's
small
business
owners
across
the
city
you're,
starting
to
see
the
rebirth
of
business
districts
in
Allentown
you're
sent
to
the
rebirth
of
business
districts
in
homewood
and
in
brighton
heights.
It's
an
incredible
thing
to
watch
that
reinvestment
and
what
government
has
done
and
needs
to
do
is
facilitate.
It's
been
the
partnerships
with
bridgeway
capital.
It's
been
the
partnerships
with
CDC's
around
the
city
that
have
provided
the
opportunity
for
this
new
rebirth
of
small
business.
B
My
vision
of
government
is
where
the
battering
ram
you
have
the
ideas.
You
have
the
innovative
spirit.
We
are
the
battering
ram
to
break
through
doors,
to
provide
you
the
future
opportunity,
with
access
to
capital
the
opportunity
to
network
not
only
across
the
city
but
across
the
nation,
through
partnerships
like
what
we're
doing
with
1776,
to
bring
in
new
capital,
whether
it's
small
amounts
locally
or
its
national
venture
capital
to
help
those
dreams
become
a
reality
and
to
do
it
with
the
community
spirit.
B
I
see
Adam
sitting
here,
you
know
it's
pigment
and
the
work
they've
been
doing
in
homewood
and
I.
Was
there
a
couple
weeks
ago
on
a
Saturday
morning,
Saturday
or
Sunday
morning,
Saturday
morning
and
I'll
be
honest.
I
was
blown
away,
I
expected
to
walk
into
you,
know:
25
50
people
having
a
great
conversation
about
the
future
of
homewood
hundreds
and
hundreds
and
hundreds
of
people
from
around
Homewood
from
around
the
entire
city.
It
was
all
ages,
it
was
all
races.
It
was
all
genders
as
all
ethnic
backgrounds.
B
There's
all
religions
coming
together
to
talk
about
what
does
community
development
in
support
of
the
innovative
spirit
look
like
in
homewood
over
the
next
decade,
and
we
need
that
and
we
can
have
that
in
every
single
part
of
the
city
and
the
last
thing
I'll
touch
on
very
quickly
and
you'll
notice
in
your
packet.
It's
one
of
the
areas
still
where
we
want
to
do
more
work
is
support
of
the
welcome
Pittsburgh
plan.
This
city
was
built
on
immigrants.
This
city's
future
is
dependent
on
our
partnership
with
immigrants
and
refugees.
Pittsburgh
is
mister,
rogers
neighborhood.
B
We
have
the
welcoming
inclusive
spirit
and,
more
now
than
any
time
in
history,
we
need
to
partner
with
our
neighbors,
regardless
of
the
color
of
their
skin,
regardless
of
the
origin,
regardless
of
where
they
practice
their
religion
or
what
face
they
may
or
may
not
have
and
realize
that
that
is
the
entrepreneurial
spirit
of
our
country.
That
is
the
entrepreneurial
spirit
of
this
city.
It
is
what
our
history
is
in
it.
What
is
what
our
future
is?
B
I
was
proud
to
sponsor
six
pieces
of
legislation
that
passed
City
Council
as
part
of
a
welcoming
city
plan
that
made
it
clear
very
strongly
that
we
are
planning
our
flag
and
both
our
feets
strongly
in
the
welcoming
and
inclusive
side
of
this
argument.
We
welcome
people
and
we
recognize
the
partnership
that
can
be
created
when
all
of
us
work
together,
rowing
in
the
same
direction
to
make
sure
that
everyone
has
the
opportunity
to
live,
that
American
dream
that
really
was
born
in
Pittsburgh
and
that
will
continue
to
grow
in
Pittsburgh
for
decades
to
come.
A
As
you
may
or
may
not
realize,
the
roadmap
for
inclusive
innovation
is
a
partnership
of
the
Urban
Redevelopment
Authority
and
the
city
of
Pittsburgh,
but
it
is
also
it
encompasses
a
lot
of
initiatives
that
we
also
partner
on
at
a
very
minut
detailed
level.
One
of
those
initiatives
is
PGH
labs
and
I'm
happy
introduced
on
you
almond
who's,
going
to
say
a
little
bit
more
about
that.
One.
C
C
What
else
can
we
do?
How
else
can
we
innovate
and
what
are
some
of
the
things
that
we
need
to
be
looking
at
right
now
moving
forward,
and
that's
why
we
invited
you
here
today
to
also
hear
about
some
feedback,
but
also
new
ideas
coming
up
for
2017,
so
PGH
lab,
we
did
Travis
a
program
that
invites
local
startups
here
in
Pittsburgh
to
come
and
pilot
the
person
services
for
three
to
four
months
here
at
the
city
before
PGH
lab.
C
You
know
pilot
new
technologies
that
both
the
city
cool,
good
experiments
with
and
also
provide
a
forum
where
local
startups
can
collaborate
collaborate
with
the
city's
directly,
but
also
get
that
real-world
feedback
that
they
might
need
in
order
to
gain
credibility
in
the
brother
and
that
way
work
with
a
real
word
client.
So
last
year
we
start
off
with
a
small
pilot
of
beat
the
PGH
lab
program.
We
will
receive
twenty
six
applicants
and
highly
qualified
and
it
was
a
very
competitive
process.
C
We
have
a
review
committees
that
is
constituted
by
a
lot
of
leaders
here
at
the
city,
from
different
departments,
and
also
that
you
are
right
and,
and
they
decided
to
select
three
companies-
and
this
was
high
percent
trusted,
source
and
r
energy,
and
we
have
our
website
and
our
website.
Guess
that's
where
we
communicate
and
promote
the
program
and
we
get
to
reach
to
move
back
to
the
community
through
the
website.
C
C
This
year,
we're
happy
to
partner
again
with
the
URA
and
we're
bringing
on
board
the
health
and
authority
and
PWSA,
so
applicants
can
send
one
common
application
and
and
after
the
selection,
after
the
application
period
server,
we
will
decide
where
the
company's
best
match.
According
to
you,
know
the
president
services
and
they
also
the
needs
of
the
different
partners.
Here,
the
different
authorities
and
feeding
this
year
we're
offering
again
space
and
co-working
spaces
free
membership
to
the
global
incubator,
1776
access
to
municipalities,
network
and
other
for
startups
to
to
be
able
to
deploy
their.
C
You
know
their
software
or
their
service
and
and
the
direct
connection
with
to
the
affiliate.
We
also
have
the
PGH
lab
program
is
successful
because
we
match
startups
with
a
CD
staff,
which
we
call
a
CD
champion,
and
this
person
you
guys
to
start
up
for
the
pilot
program
for
three
or
four
months
and
make
sure
that
their
pilot
is
successful
and
make
sure
that
the
city's
provided
the
necessary
help
to
make
sure
that
that
the
Pylos
go
out
gain
the
necessary
and
make
sure
that
the
company's
gain
the
necessary
help
they
need.
C
And
yes
with
that
in
mind,
if
you
have
any
questions,
please
reach
out,
we
have
right
now
of
an
application
period
and
we
would
love
to
have
as
many
startups
as
possible.
Again.
This
is
a
great
opportunity
for
someone
who
really
needs
to
find
other
projects
and
service
at
a
larger
scale
and
having
the
city
and
authorities
as
the
main
client.
It
would
be
a
great
opportunity
to
also
create
a
feedback
system
for
the
startup,
so
we
will
be
happy.
A
A
Okay,
everyone
we're
going
to
move
on
to
the
wrap-up
portion
of
the
event.
So
here's
the
thing
we
heard
a
lot
of
good
conversation
as
I
was
roaming
around.
So
thank
you.
I
love
that
everyone
was
really
putting
forth
their
thoughts
and
opinions
on
this
topic.
Now
we're
going
to
do
a
quick
wrap-up
each
table
is
going
to
do
a
short
report
out
kind
of
on
the
major
themes
that
their
group
discussed,
and
so
that
will
just
take
a
couple
of
minutes.
D
The
idea
was
to
start
with
the
city
and
also
the
authorities
to
administrate
that
and
by
doing
an
audit
and
a
database
of
those
businesses
that
could
supply
services
or
materials
to
make
those
things
happen.
One
example
is
simply
defined,
like
you
are
a
signs
or
city
signs
using
local
companies
to
do
that.
I
think
that
one
covers
up
pretty
well.
E
D
Second
topic
was
getting
become
big
companies
partnering
with
small
businesses
through
that
getting
them
involved
to
be
more
collaborative
and
partner
together
through
that,
seeing
how
do
we
match
companies
and
get
them
to
support
the
local
businesses?
One
idea
was
a
switch
pitch
through
city
advocacy
and
public
relations
to
just
basically
get
the
big
companies
to
be
more
involved
through
other
that'd,
be
sponsorship
or
within
the
community
and
in
the
neighborhood.
D
Connecting
the
city
stock
of
building
and
housing
to
incorporate
that
with
people
in
common
industries,
so,
for
example,
plumbers
or
different
types
of
industries
like
that
using
city
housing
to
have
space
for
housing,
but
also
training
and
networking
to
create
that
industry
and
grow
that
industry.
That
could
then
become
other
store,
friends
and
brick
and
mortars
than
all
the
different
neighborhoods.
And
lastly,
we
didn't
talk
a
whole
lot
about
this
one,
but
through
immigration,.
A
A
A
E
E
So,
if
you're,
the
possible
actions
that
we
talked
about
where
one
for
the
city
to
really
commit
to
creating
a
communications
model
that
is
cohesive
and
branded,
and
the
same
so
that
when
we
hear
information
coming
out
of
the
city,
we
know
what
it
means
to
our
communities
into
the
work
that
we
do
because
I
made
a
comment
about.
You
know
this
launch
Pittsburgh
two
point:
oh
I
had
no
idea
what
it
was
Henry.
E
We
talked
a
lot
about
the
need
for
Henry's
role
to
be
expanded,
so
I'm,
just
kind
of
tamping
in
that,
because
I
in
the
point
that
I
made
is
that
you
know
Henry
having
him
being
able
to
come
to
your
conference
room
and
talk
to
you
about
different
things
going
on
at
the
city.
And
how
does
that
map
to
what
you're
doing
in
community?
E
It's
made
a
real
difference
in
the
work
that
I
do
so
we'd
love
to
see
collectively
the
city
make
a
real
commitment
to
probably
turning
his,
what
he's
doing
into
a
department
and
to
get
very
serious
about
inclusive
entrepreneurship.
You
need
those
boots
on
the
ground,
not
just
a
twitter
feed,
not
just
social
media,
not
just
facebook,
facebook,
but
an
actual
person
that
you
can
have
tactile
engagement
with,
and
so
you
know
there
was
a
little
bit
of
pushback
about
hey.
E
We
may
not
be
able
to
start
a
whole
department,
so
even
thinking
about
how
to
maybe
leverage
some
of
what
we're
doing
in
this
room
today
to
turn
that
into
an
inclusive
entrepreneurship
Council,
so
that
we
can
at
least
work
together
more
cohesively
to
build
capacity
and
add
to
some
of
that,
but
I
really
do
advocate
for
an
entrepreneurship
department
at
the
city
that
really
focuses
on
inclusivity
and
how
to
make
sure
that
we
are
all
keeping
pace
and
for
taking
in
the
future.
Thank
you,
Oh.
F
I
can't
marry
okay.
The
second
is
a
bit
I
think
the
first
group
talked
about
it
in
one
way.
This
may
be
a
take-off
on
what
you're
thinking
around
housing
and-
and
we
looked
at
startup
zones
or
something
like
that
in
a
couple
of
ways-
we're
thinking
about
the
streets
that
are
adjacent
to
either
parallel
or
connectors
to
large
retail
areas,
I'll
take
carson
street
or
penn
avenue
as
an
example
or
I
can
think
of-
or
you
know,
craig
street
whatever
those
expensive
retail
streets
are
not
typically
where
startups
can
afford
to
be.
F
So
there
a
way
to
create
other
secondary
zones
that
work
in
tandem
with
the
retail
long
street
Main
Street
focused
areas,
but
they
need
other
things
like
access
to
parking
and
things
actually
that
residents
also
compete
for
so
these
are.
These
are
really
there's
not
an
easy
answer
for
what
makes
an
intern
able
to
get
to
work
in
a
start-up
that
might
be
near
bus
ways
or
other
kinds
of
transportation.
But
can
we
can
we
solve
some
of
these
through
the
URA
or
some
other
things,
and
to
that
I
would
put
housing
for
entrepreneurs.
F
Can
we
create
some
communal
housing,
pockets
again
and
you're
strapped
for
cash
to
get
your
company
off
the
ground?
Housing
is
frequently
a
real
stretch
and
if
you've
got
several
people
who
are
in
that
same
boat,
is
there
a
housing
stock
through
the
URA
or
others
that
can
either
be
located
in
these
zones
are
nearby
that
could
be
a
win
for
everybody.
F
Then
we
did
talk
at
our
table
a
bit
about
reentry
opportunities
for
folks
who
either
are
in
the
criminal
justice
system
or
post
that
other
folks
who
need
to
re-enter.
It
may
or
may
not
be
starting
out
as
entrepreneurs
themselves,
but
they
do
have
similar
kinds
of
barriers
in
having
the
population
served
by
those
groups
entering
the
workforce
and
I.
Think
the
point
and
her
friend
has
left
us
so
I
hope
I'm
getting
it
right.
Now.
We
think
about
innovation
in
a
more
inclusive
way.
F
It's
not
only
about
entrepreneurs
or
startups,
but
that
includes
an
innovative
inclusion,
thinks
about
all
needs
that
need
to
be
served
not
necessarily
only
entrepreneurial
businesses
and
that
we
look
at
ways
to
help
folks
re-enter
the
workforce
creatively
as
part
of
our
thinking,
gosh
I,
hope,
I
got
it
right.
You
didn't
say.
A
So
Allen
see
raising
hands
who
mad
so
and
today,
and
this
discussion
that
they'd
never
met
before
that's
great
because
we're
all
working
in
the
same
ecosystem,
and
we
all
should
know
each
other
and
I
hope
if
nothing
else
comes
out
of
this,
which
there
will
be
more
out
of
this.
But
at
least
you're
now
going
to
see
this
immediate
gratification
of
meeting
you
people
in
your
area
who
you
could
be
collaborating
with
or
sharing
information
web
now.
A
The
next
steps
is
we're
going
to
take
all
these
ideas
that
you
gave
us
we're
going
to
fill
them
down,
find
out
where
they
were
overlap
and
we're
going
to
continue
the
conversation
with
you.
So
we
do
have
a
website
the
roadmap
for
inclusive
innovation.
If
you
just
google,
it
you'll
find
that
website
and
then
gives
you
all
the
detail
in
the
whole
road
map.
A
But
we
are
going
to
be
refreshing
that
in
the
next
couple
months,
as
an
output
of
all
of
these
conversations
that
we're
having
we're
going
to
be
archiving
things
whose
completed
putting
in
new
things
from
these
discussions
that
we
feel
have
risen
to
the
top
so
I.
Thank
you
all
for
your
participation,
and
that
concludes
our
session
for
today,.
