Pittsburgh — the Steel City — is redefining itself through education and an innovative technology. Pennsylvania’s second-largest city, its more than 1,500 technology firms — led by Apple, Google and Intel — generate more than $10 billion in salaries a year. The region’s 68 colleges and universities — led by Carnegie Mellon University and the University of Pittsburgh — helped transition the city from its industrial past and now the City of Bridges is among the nation’s leaders in several future-focused indicators. Like its beloved Steelers of the NFL, Pittsburgh will remain a force for decades to come.
