Welcome to the Pittsburgh Region

Welcome to GlobalPittsburgh, a regional collaborative initiative to introduce you to the international character of the Pittsburgh region!

This region is home and host to tens of thousands of new Americans and others born in other lands who have come here to work, to play, to study, and to invest. We are home to over 300 international firms from 26 different countries. We are home to over 40 distinct international communities. With this website, we invite you to meet our international communities!

We also invite new residents to the region and those considering coming here to explore the many opportunities that living in Pittsburgh offers to help you feel more at home. And we invite employers and investors who are growing their international workforce and improving their position in the global marketplace to take advantage of the many services available to assist you.

Pittsburgh says welcome in many languages, with many customs and cultures. But it all translates to the same thing -- home.

Many thanks to the members of the International Communities who helped to create this Web site.

	Spotlight: The South Asian Community
	Click here for details about other PIttsburgh communities.		The South Asians living here, mostly from India, Pakistan, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka, include more than 3,000 families, excluding students, and are quite diverse. They are multiethnic, multilingual, and multireligious. They are widely scattered across the six counties in and around Pittsburgh. The majority of the South Asian families are from India. They are mostly professionals (physicians and surgeons, industrial researchers, management professionals, and university teachers) and entrepreneurs (IT, high technology, and traditional manufacturing).
	The South Asians began arriving in the U.S. (including Southwestern Pennsylvania) in the mid-1960s as university students, post-docs, and healthcare professionals. After their studies and internships, many decided to stay. The major national groups from South Asia have active community associations.
