EXHIBITORS

In 2021, Innovation Tri-Valley Leadership Group (ITV) launched the Tri-Valley Vision 2040 Plan, an initiative encompassing input from over 1,000 stakeholders that presents 24 bold ideas to ensure the Tri-Valley will be globally recognized for its innovation while growing in a way that is equity and inclusion-focused. ITV emphasized building a Green Economy as a major priority, elevating the region as a model for environmental stewardship while building a new sector of employment opportunities. With Lawrence Livermore National Laboratories’ recent fusion ignition breakthrough, private investment in the green hydrogen sector and global renewable energy solutions emerging from the region, the Tri-Valley is positioned to build, grow and sustain a new Green Economy.
