Tech Valley contains more than 1,000 technology companies providing more than 50,000 jobs. The companies of Tech Valley have economic impact of $5 billion and an annual payroll of $2 billion.

The University at Albany and RPI are internationally renowned for their research and development and centers for advanced technology.
