Why Here and Why Now?
Unlocking the unique advantages and timely opportunities of the Silicon Valley East Bay for groundbreaking innovation.
Building on Silicon Valley's legacy of innovation, the East Bay expands the ecosystem into new domains—from advanced manufacturing and agriculture to logistics and energy infrastructure.
SV-EBF's lifestyle retains top talent for decades, countering the "churn and burn" culture elsewhere. Building a Unicorn requires more than a garage—it demands a campus where engineers thrive and families grow.
