Pennsylvania needs to embrace disruption and new technologies to shape its future. The state can draw from its past successes, like the 1941 York Plan, to create a talent pool, startup culture, and funding sources to support industries like smart factories, medical robotics, and artificial intelligence. Specifically, the document proposes establishing a robotics programming school, venture fund, accelerator, and collaborative workspace called "The Fortress" to position Pennsylvania at the forefront of the new industrial revolution.
