Lancaster Innovation Ecosystem Community Survey

EDC Lancaster County is seeking community input as part of the development of Lancaster’s Innovation Ecosystem strategy. The survey is an opportunity for residents to share their perspectives on the future of innovation, technology and AI, workforce and career opportunities, entrepreneurship, and economic growth in Lancaster.

• Your perspective matters. We want to hear from people across Lancaster about the opportunities, priorities, and concerns that should be considered as this work moves forward.
• No expertise is required. You do not need to work in technology, understand AI, or be familiar with economic development to participate.
• The survey explores what would help Lancaster remain a place where people can learn, work, build businesses, access opportunity, and thrive as the economy continues to change.
• It also includes questions about community perspectives on AI and interest in future opportunities to build AI and digital literacy.
• Feedback will help inform the broader Innovation Ecosystem strategy alongside input from businesses, educators, workforce partners, students, entrepreneurs, community organizations, and other stakeholders.

The survey is open to Lancaster County community members through September 30, 2026.
