Industry Collaborations

"I told my job about the certificate and showed them everything we learned, and they offered me a full-time position and plan on training me on a large automation machine."

"We are extremely fortunate to have a resource like the Digital Foundry in our home town. Pittsburgh is becoming a startup hot spot, and it's really cool to see smaller towns like New Kensington still be able to facilitate entrepreneurs, providing us with mentoring and technical assistance. While there is no one size fits all solution, I'm extremely grateful to have participated in the 2025 spring cohort."

"What an incredible service this business provides to our region! Whether its taking on technology implementation projects from local manufacturers to industry 4.0 and modernization solutions, to helping local entrepreneurs!"
