What
is the Bay Area East Shore’s Mission?
The five cities have one vision - to promote the East Shore
as an innovative center for the digital economy, biotechnology,
telecommunications and the Internet evolution, with a focus
on attracting businesses to locate in the East Bay and supporting
the growth of resident companies.

Shore region - how can I help?
Become an ambassador for the region and share with your business
colleagues in the Bay Area and elsewhere why the East Shore
is a great place to do business. Encourage others to visit
