Between Pennsylvania's robust business incubation and development programs, world-famous university talent, and progressive energy and electronics companies, the high technology industry in the Commonwealth is growing quickly. International offices abound in the state, with major alternative energy companies like Gamesa Wind establishing large operations here, and like Lake Erie Biofuels emerging as a true industry innovator; in December 2007 the company shipped the first-ever load of biodiesel on the Great Lakes Waterway.
