These KIZs were established around institutions of higher education located in both rural and urban regions and focus on utilizing Pennsylvania’s institutions of higher education as economic drivers. Each KIZ contains different partnerships from their region that include, but not limited to economic development providers, local governments, financial institutions and venture capitalists.

Each KIZ focuses on its region’s individual competitive target industries. The 29 KIZs located throughout Pennsylvania serve both rural and urban regions and are partnered up with over 91 institutions of higher education (IHE) that range from research universities to local community colleges. Since inception, the KIZ program has assisted in the creation of more than 11,600 jobs.
