Cross-Sector Collaboratives

Cross-Sector Collaboratives (CSCs) bring together diverse stakeholders across industry, government, academia, nonprofit, and labor to identify the issues we must collectively contend with and to build a more connected, statewide ecosystem. Rather than seeking consensus, we focus on aligning around shared priorities, surfacing opportunities for coordinated action, and catalyzing impact across sectors.

Team Pennsylvania convenes CSCs in agriculture, manufacturing, energy, and robotics & technology, accelerating these sectors as economic drivers for Pennsylvania.

What do Cross-Sector Collaboratives Do?

  • Align around shared priorities: Build coalitions around shared priorities and connect dots among complementary initiatives and activities across the state.
  • Elevate & amplify promising practices and ripe opportunities that merit coordinated attention or are ready to scale.
  • Educate & inform on critical topics, developing a common set of facts that support shared understanding.
  • Nurture ecosystems: Connect stakeholders who share common interests and goals, encouraging collaboration and connectivity, especially among unlikely partners.

Participants play multiple, strategic roles depending on their skills and expertise, including:

  • Expert advisor. Provide perspective and expertise, understanding industry trends and opportunities to accelerate economic growth.
  • Connector. Facilitate connections across organizations and initiatives, creating a connected, fertile network across the commonwealth.
  • Implementer. Organize around specific opportunities for action — Strategic Impact Initiatives — led by Team Pennsylvania with a defined scope and set of objectives.
  • Contributor. Financially contribute to Team Pennsylvania and its work as a convener and neutral broker.

Each Collaborative meets quarterly, and participation is open and dynamic. Anyone who shares our priorities to strengthen Pennsylvania in these sectors is welcome to join us. We leave space for different perspectives while aligned on common goals, recognizing that to tackle these challenges requires partnership and collaboration.
