INNOVATION TRI-VALLEY LEADERSHIP GROUP

Innovation Tri-Valley Leadership Group (ITV) was born out of vision and momentum. In 2010, following a landmark conference hosted by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and the Livermore Valley Chamber of Commerce—“How the Tri-Valley Fits Into a Global Economy”—regional leaders recognized the Tri-Valley’s unique potential to shape the future. After a day of powerful presentations highlighting the region’s innovation assets, Marty Beard, then President of Sybase rallied leaders to transform this momentum into something lasting. By 2011, Innovation Tri-Valley had officially taken root and was led by founding CEO Dale Kaye. 

Positioned at the geographic heart of Northern California’s megaregion, the Tri-Valley—comprising Danville, Dublin, Livermore, Pleasanton, and San Ramon—emerged as a thriving ecosystem where business, research, education, and civic leadership intersect. Early in its journey, ITV partnered with the Bay Area Council Economic Institute to publish Tri-Valley Rising reports in 2014 and 2018. These groundbreaking studies defined the Tri-Valley as a region to watch: a place where innovation, economic growth, and exceptional quality of life converge to create one of the most dynamic hubs in the Bay Area.

Building on this foundation, ITV led a visionary community-wide effort in 2020, engaging more than 1,000 stakeholders to co-create the Tri-Valley 2040 Vision Plan, delivered in 2021. This ambitious roadmap captured the aspirations of a region determined to shape a prosperous, inclusive, and sustainable future.

Through placemaking and branding events, bold advocacy, public–private partnerships, and the consistent convening of stakeholders, ITV has become the region’s trusted catalyst for collaboration and solutions. Today, nearly 100 local agencies, business leaders, research institutions, and civic partners power ITV’s work, tackling critical priorities such as housing and infrastructure, transportation, education, workforce development, and elevating the Tri-Valley’s regional brand.

From its founding spark to its future-focused vision, Innovation Tri-Valley Leadership Group continues to unite leaders across sectors to drive economic prosperity, amplify innovation, and enhance the quality of life for all who call the Tri-Valley home.
