PHL Inno is a new digital media brand focused on local innovation. Part of the American Inno network of sites, PHL Inno will serve as your source for who and what is next in market, from first-time founders and growth-stage businesses to trends and ideas that are transforming local industries and pillars.

At Inno, we love to tell stories about the people behind the companies, ideas and organizations that are shaping the present and future of a city's economy. You’ll also find longer looks into the trends and topics that are impacting and influencing the region's tech and startup communities, as well as resource-driven lists, multimedia and much more.

Along with daily news and analysis that will help you stay informed and plugged in, Inno will also serve as an onboarding tool for people and businesses that are new to the ecosystem. Through quarterly awards and features, Inno will act as your terminal to the leaders and companies that define our innovation economy.

Inno will be fully open for a brief introductory period.
