Growing the state’s economy.

Team Pennsylvania facilitated numerous meetings with state government representatives and Mark Group company officials, which ultimately helped lead to the U.K.-based manufacturer to build its U.S. headquarters in PA.

Team Pennsylvania Foundation’s work is defined by three areas that we believe are the building blocks of a healthly and vibrant economy – business growth, education and workforce development and government efficiency.

Looking to the shared expertise, knowledge and vision of industry leaders as a way to achieve its goal of making Pennsylvania a national leader in economic development, through its parternships Team PA is able to:

• Bring together public officials and private leaders to enhance the business climate and secure valuable jobs for Pennsylvanians.
• Focus its energy and resources on educating and building a strong workforce.
• Develop creative solutions to the challenges facing businesses and government across Pennsylvania.
