In 2025, we broadened our horizons and strengthened the foundations laid in 2024, proving that Pennovation Works is not just a Philadelphia landmark, but a global destination for innovation.
From hosting 9 international delegations across four continents to welcoming over 200 students through our Youth, Entrepreneurship, & STEM (Y.E.S.) Initiative, we are ensuring that the future of STEM is both inclusive and global.
Throughout the year, we saw our ecosystem’s impact reach new heights. Our Pennovation Accelerator has now supported over 90 founders who have collectively raised nearly $90 million in funding - a testament to the caliber of talent within our walls. In addition to supporting the growth and advancement of Life Sciences, we prioritized the needs of the region’s tech community by serving as a premier hub for AI, Tech, and Robotics. Pennovation Works hosted 10 major tech meetups and flagship AI initiatives, which brought together approximately 1,000 innovation experts, enthusiasts, and emerging leaders.
As we look toward October 2026, we are preparing to celebrate a decade of innovation and impact at Pennovation Works. We invite you to stay connected and celebrate these achievements with us as we continue to be the place where “Ideas Go To Work.”
