“Cascadia’s AI Moment?: Confronting Today’s Challenges to Become Tomorrow’s Global Leader” takes stock of where our megaregion stands a decade after the launch of the Cascadia Innovation Corridor. Drawing on new benchmarking from Boston Consulting Group, it highlights both the strengths that have powered our growth—world-class universities, global technology anchors, deep talent, and clean energy—and the pressures now testing our edge: rising costs, housing shortages, workforce gaps, and energy constraints. The report outlines how Cascadia can strengthen its fundamentals while seizing a once-in-a-generation opportunity to lead in the defining technology of our time—artificial intelligence. By aligning research, industry, and infrastructure across borders, Cascadia can become the world’s model for responsible, inclusive, and sustainable innovation.
