2 min read February 2023 — As Philadelphia gears up for new challenges and opportunities in the near term, the business community and local public officials will look to leverage the area’s strategic assets to build a more sustainable and equitable future.
Known as a major business and financial hub, as well as for its championship-caliber sports teams, innovative life sciences companies and educational institutions, Philadelphia is at the forefront of growth in the region. Celebrating the five-year anniversary of Invest: Philadelphia, this upcoming edition will include leading in-depth analysis across major economic sectors and insights and perspectives from the main players within the market. In this edition, we examine the measures and initiatives from both the public and private sectors to drive sustainable growth and innovation in one of the mid-Atlantic’s top markets.
In January 2023, Mayor Jim Kenney laid out priorities for the final year of his administration, with a focus on inclusive growth, public safety, quality of life and historic investments in Philadelphia youth. In addition, Mayor Kenney noted, “I am committed to making Philadelphia as competitive as possible through continued cuts to business and wage taxes. The City, meanwhile, maintains an ‘A’ credit bond rating and robust pension funding, while the Administration continues to build on the success of the Inclusive Growth Coalition to advocate for citywide job and business growth.”
As the City of Brotherly Love reaches a new inflection point, its highly-educated workforce and active energy will play a critical role in deciding its future direction. “Philadelphia has such a rich history and its business ecosystem is bolstered by a diverse group of companies, from Comcast and Independence Blue Cross to Brandywine Realty Trust and so many others. Our business intelligence publications have indicated that the region continues to be poised for positive outcomes in key industries as well as a strong future, ” said Abby Melone, president and CEO of Capital Analytics.
