The area called New York's Capital Region is home to more than one million people and encompasses eleven counties in upstate New York.

Today, three interstate highways, fast rail service (2 hours and 15 minutes to New York City), a year round deep water port, as well as a recently re-developed airport with direct air service to major markets. The Capital Region lays claim to Albany, the capital of New York State, as well as the major cities of Schenectady and Troy, and the popular resort destinations of Saratoga Springs and Lake George. The area has been dubbed "Tech Valley" as the region is fast becoming widely recognized as a premier site for the development of innovative, high technology companies. Tech Valley contains more than 1,000 technology companies providing more than 50,000 jobs. The companies of Tech Valley have economic impact of $5 billion and an annual payroll of $2 billion. Tech Valley is truly a learning "Mecca" as evidenced by 21 colleges and universities with 65,000 students. RPI, Siena College and Union College have been ranked among the nation's most computer-savvy universities. The University at Albany and RPI are internationally renowned for their research and development and centers for advanced technology. Highly regarded in the Region, state, and nation are Albany Medical College, Albany Law School, and Albany School of Pharmacy. Location remains a critical factor in today's rapidly changing business environment. The Capital Region and Tech Valley's location facilitates unparalleled access to a large and affluent market area. The largest population concentration in North America is within one day's shipping time (850 miles) of the Capital Region.
