  • The HP Garage—The Birthplace of Silicon Valley 367 Addison Avenue, Palo Alto, California
    Brochure A home for innovation The HP Garage—the Birthplace of Silicon Valley 367 Addison Avenue, Palo Alto, California HP Corporate Archives Brochure A home for innovation Tucked away on a quiet, tree-lined residential street near Stanford University, the HP Garage stands today as the enduring symbol of innovation and the entrepreneurial spirit. It was in this humble 12x18-foot building that college friends Bill Hewlett and Dave Packard first pursued the dream of a company of their own. Guided by an unwavering desire to develop innovative and useful products, the two men went on to blaze a trail at the forefront of the electronics revolution. The history of the HP Garage The HP Garage in 1939 (top) and The garage stands behind a two-story Shingle restored in 2005 (bottom). Style home built for Dr. John C. Spencer about 1905. The exact construction date of the garage is unknown, but while there is no evidence of its presence on insurance maps dated 1908, by 1924 it is clearly denoted on updated documents as a private garage. In 1938, Bill Hewlett and Dave Packard decided to “make a run for it” in business. Dave left his job at General Electric in Schenectady, New York, and returned to Palo Alto while Bill scouted rentals. The garage was dedicated as the Birthplace of Silicon Valley in 1989, and HP acquired the He found one perfect for their needs on Addison property in 2000. HP is proud to have worked Avenue. Chosen specifically because of a garage closely with the City of Palo Alto to return the he and Dave could use as their workshop, the house, garage, and shed to conditions much property also offered a three-room, ground- as they were in 1939.

  • A Strategic Overview of the Silicon Valley Ecosystem: Towards Effectively “Harnessing” the Ecosystem
    A Strategic Overview of the Silicon Valley Ecosystem: Towards Effectively “Harnessing” the Ecosystem 8. University-Industry, University-Government Ties Kenji E. Kushida Universities are a critical component of the Silicon Valley ecosystem, serving as a multifaceted focal point for the exchange of human capital, ideas, technologies, and more. As such, Japanese companies that can effectively make use of universities for the variety of functions they can offer stand to benefit and become more effectively integrated into the Silicon Valley ecosystem. To do so, the first step is understanding the role of universities. The relationship between the government, universities and industries is often misunderstood as unidirectional, with the government encouraging innovations at universities by providing funding and the universities producing new ideas that are commercialized by industry. The reality observed in Silicon Valley, however, is more complex and multi-directional. The efforts for innovation are more often driven by individual researchers at universities rather than the government agencies or university administration, and initial ideas for innovation often comes from industries. The university-industries ties that contribute to the Silicon Valley ecosystem are multifaceted, diverse, and not easily captured by a single set of metrics. This in itself has caused much confusion for actors wishing to learn about Silicon Valley, not only from those outside the US, but in US media portrayals as well. This is partly because of the close relationship between the multifaceted university-government ties that anchor much of the university-industry ties. The core research universities are Stanford University and the University of California. Among the University of California schools UC Berkeley and UC San Francisco Medical Center are within the broader Silicon Valley ecosystem, with UC Davis also playing an important role, particularly in agricultural science.

  • Silicon Valley Region
    Silicon Valley Region DEFINING THE REGION For the purposes of this project, the Silicon Valley Region is defined as San Mateo and Santa Clara Counties. It includes 35 incorporated cities. Demographics This region is home to nearly 3 million people. The Silicon Valley’s population is projected to grow to 9 million by 2040, but existing housing stock is inadequate to meet demand. Although the counties of San Mateo and Santa Clara have some of the highest median household incomes in the nation, the gap between the wealthy and the low-income is significant. Due to the disparity of low-wage earners and their increasing costs of living, many current residents are expected to leave the region and move to other parts of California or out of state as housing rates continue to skyrocket. 1 Prepared by the Local Government Commission for the Community Foundation Water Initiative on behalf of The Funders’ Network for Smart Growth and Livable Communities Water Management Watersheds The Silicon Valley region is comprised of watersheds and complex water systems.Both of the region’s counties are encompassed within the San Francisco Bay watershed. Many local streams and tributaries, as well as urban and suburban stormwater runoff drain into the Sacramento - San Joaquin Delta, a confluence of two large rivers, which then flow into the Pacific Ocean via the San Francisco Bay. This watershed is part of a vast, complex estuary ecosystem of great importance to the entire state – for both its ecological value and its role in statewide water conveyance. Integrated Regional Water Management The Bay Area IRWM group – a voluntary planning collaborative - overlaps the same geographic boundaries of the Silicon Valley region.

Foreword In the 1940s, the author Carey McWilliams coined a phrase to characterize California’s penchant for innovation and experimentation. He called it “the edge of novelty” and remarked that “Californians have become so used to the idea of experimentation—they have had to experiment so often—that they are psychologically prepared to try anything.” Waves of migrants and immigrants over the past 150 years of California history have been attracted to our “edge of novelty,” and they have consistently found California a place that fosters creativity and the entrepreneurial spirit. In this report, AnnaLee Saxenian documents one of the latest, and most dramatic, examples of California as a location that attracts immigrant entrepreneurs.

  • A Case Study of East Palo Alto's Water Supply
    From Crisis to Solutions: A Case Study of East Palo Alto’s Water Supply Fran M. Layton Allison A. Johnson Winter 2019 January 2019 Unbelievably, in the Bay Area we have communities whose economic growth and prosperity are constrained by the availability of water. Such was the case in East Palo Alto, where decades of racial and economic injustices in the allocation of water has had an adverse impact on its development. As this report shows, East Palo Alto’s water crisis arose out of racial, economic, and political factors in the mid-20th century. The people of unincorporated East Palo Alto – historically a low-income community of color – lacked a strong enough voice in the land-use and water-allocation decisions made by its neighbors. As surrounding jurisdictions steered toxic industrial uses into East Palo Alto, the unincorporated area was unable to pursue economic development, which lead to all the predictable social consequences. Without the water supply needed to attract new investments, the city struggled to generate the tax base necessary for growth and to respond to community needs. Even with its 1983 incorporation, East Palo Alto continued to face many bureaucratic and political obstacles to securing more water until very recently. The research for this report was completed in 2017 and since then, the City of East Palo Alto has taken a number of steps to secure additional water and drive its own economic development. East Palo Alto leaders worked with neighboring jurisdictions beginning in 2016, sharing their vision with other community leaders and demanding action to rectify the past.
