The TechBelt Initiative began as a regional conversation about developing a strategy to reinvigorate the Cleveland-to-Pittsburgh corridor and surrounding region. The continued transition to a technology and knowledge-based economy combined with our industrial and academic assets, dictates that the region is poised for renewed growth. To achieve success we must identify opportunities to collaborate in the creation of new products, technologies, companies and wealth. The conversation has resulted in the formation of a collaborative effort known as the TechBelt Initiative.

This Web site serves as a portal for the region, providing a forum for discussion, collaboration and knowledge-sharing for companies, universities and organizations located within the TechBelt. Also, this site is a way for those located outside the TechBelt to learn about the benefits of working, living and playing in the Belt and how they can take advantage of the massive opportunities within the region.
