Outlook
Philadelphia continues to become a desirable place to live and work with the resources and diversity of a large East Coast city while still being more affordable than the large nearby tech hubs. This environment combined with its universities and major institutions attracts students, researchers, and entrepreneurs, and allows the city to slowly expand its role in artificial intelligence, technology, and robotics.
