The report provides a basis for developing the innovation plan for the region. It also provides the background data and analysis for further assessment of the regions potential as an innovation hub. The research was commissioned by the steering committee of the Innovation Tri-Valley Initiative. The steering comitee conducted the research in a relatively short four-week period and prepared this report. The report consists of six sections and they are: 1. Executive Summary; 2. Results of interviews with leaders and stakeholders in the region; 3. Demographic and economic profile of the region; 4. The tech sector, gazelles, and corporate headquarters; 5. Ecology of innovation-Tri-Valley assets; 6. Benchmark study of four innovation regions.

    Tri-Valley Innovation Plan, 2010 July 22, 2010 Innovation Tri-Valley Plan Outline • Background • Vision • Initiatives • Innovation Tri-Valley Organization • How you can help 2 What is Innovation Tri-Valley? We are Innovation Accelerators Innovation Tri-Valley (ITV) started as a commitment between key business leaders to organize an effort to interconnect the businesses, research labs, educational institutions and civic leaders in a common and aligned vision to fully leverage the assets and potential of the region. The group "rmly believes that with a united effort we can accomplish more to help our regional businesses grow and scale, resulting in job growth and community vitality. The Tri-Valley is endowed with world-class business assets. They include 11 of the top 50 companies by revenue in the entire Bay Area, the #1 largest company in revenue in the Bay Area, a high concentration of Gazelles (fast growing companies), two National Labs, and a workforce and student base that is as well positioned and accomplished as the talent base in Silicon Valley. We also have a high quality of life, with a vibrant combination of wineries, restaurants, shopping areas, recreational parks and facilities, entertainment venues, and a Mediterranean climate. Based on a study of other regions that have successfully created innovation hubs for job growth while enriching business and cultural assets, we have concluded that there are several keys to success that the Innovation Tri-Valley effort will employ: • Vision: Establish a shared vision of success among business, educational, and civic leaders. • Leadership: Engage the executive leaders of key organizations in direct leadership and visionary roles of a regionally focused organization.
