Kinesh Doshi, co-founder and CEO of Accion Labs, is a 2018 Pittsburgh Smart 50 honoree and Innovation award winner.

Accion Labs has more than doubled in size since 2016; it now has close to 2,000 employees, including 450 onboarded in the fourth quarter of 2018.

WHY IT'S A COOL OFFICE: Formerly located in Upper St. Clair, Accion Labs recently moved to its 9,000-square-foot office, located off Interstate 79 in Collier Township, allowing easy access from many parts of the city. The office's modern feel is a fit for Accion’s vision of emerging technologies, driven by its focus on technological innovation and digital transformation.

In an era when cutbacks are more common, Accion Labs has grown to a point where change became necessary.

The technology firm cut the ribbon recently for its new headquarters in Collier Township after relocating from cozier space on Boyce Road in Upper St. Clair.
