2023 Impact
If numbers tell a story, here are some of the wins you’ll find in the University City Science Center's 2023 Impact report: 68 startups supported, 295 student and adult learners engaged, and 5,800 Venture Café attendees welcomed. We helped startups gain funding despite the difficult market conditions, and introduced more Philadelphians to the world of STEM. In 2023 we also celebrated 60 years of powering progress - here’s to building on that legacy for years to come.
