Keystone Innovation Zones (KIZs) are designated zones by the state of Pennsylvania to encourage creativity, foster innovation and provide entrepreneurial opportunities within geographic areas and industry concentrations.

The Williamsport/Lycoming KIZ works with entrepreneurs and start-up businesses in Lycoming County interested in developing an invention, new product concept or technology, or innovative idea by helping clients assess the idea and then access the many useful resources available to them through the KIZ program.  Our focus is on diversified manufacturing, plastics, wood products, and information technology.   

To date the KIZ has consulted with over 160 entrepreneurs/companies and allocated over $147,000 in funding to support our clients' innovation, development and start-up efforts. 

The Williamsport/Lycoming KIZ is host to seven KIZ qualified companies.
