Snapshot of the
Tri-Valley Region

The Tri-Valley is one of the Bay Area’s fastest-growing and most dynamic regions—recognized by the Bay Area Council Economic Institute’s Tri-Valley Rising report (published 2014 and updated in 2018) as a “region to watch.” Comprised of five vibrant and unique communities— Danville, Dublin, Livermore, Pleasanton, and San Ramon —the Tri-Valley offers an unparalleled quality of life that attracts innovators, entrepreneurs, and industry leaders. Home to national research powerhouses Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory and Sandia National Laboratories, more than 200 venture-backed companies, and $763M in venture capital investment in 2024, the region is a hub for technology, life sciences, energy, manufacturing and healthcare. Beyond its thriving economy, the Tri-Valley’s natural beauty, award-winning schools, charming historic downtowns, innovative neighborhoods and relatively short commutes create true work-life balance for its residents. With a collaborative spirit that unites business, education, and community leaders, the Tri-Valley continues to lead the way in innovation, job creation, and family-friendly living—making it one of the best places in the nation to live, work, and grow.

THESE KEY FACTORS INCLUDE:

Talent

Talent sets the Tri-Valley apart from other regions in California with over 60% of working adults in the Tri-Valley holding a bachelor’s degree or higher and award-winning educational institutions and workforce development programs cultivating the next generation of world-class talent.

Geographic Connectivity to One of the Most Economically Productive Regions in the World

The Tri-Valley is at the heart of the Northern California Megaregion, close to San Francisco, Silicon Valley, Sacramento, and the Central Valley, which has allowed it to attract new and growing businesses, in addition to a large pool of talented workers.

Innovation Ecosystem

Two national laboratories and a supportive ecosystem of incubators, accelerators, coworking spaces and a locally-focused venture fund make the Tri-Valley an ideal place to start and scale a company.

Space to Start and Scale

Available Class A office, flex R&D and high-quality industrial space priced lower than the San Francisco and Silicon Valley markets means more money available for investing in your business.

Economic Growth & Investment

With a GRP of $52B, available land and recent venture capital investment exceeding $763M, the Tri-Valley continues its ascendance as a nationally significant innovation economy.

High Quality of Life

Abundant cultural amenities, a vibrant food and arts scene, access to open space, a diversity of housing options and award-winning public school districts make the region one of the most attractive markets in the nation.
