SUMMARY:Corridors: The Opportunity Along I-80
DESCRIPTION:Berkeley\, Emeryville\, and other East Bay communities along the Interstate 80 corridor have long been at the forefront of the biotechnology industry. However\, a challenging funding environment in recent years has left the region with significant vacant lab and office space\, raising questions about what comes next. \nToday\, new opportunities are emerging. Advances in AI\, continued innovation in health care\, and a growing pro-business sentiment in Berkeley are creating momentum for the next chapter of the corridor’s evolution-one that still includes a strong biotech presence fueled by the talent\, research\, and entrepreneurship coming out of UC Berkeley. \nJoin the San Francisco Business Times for a discussion on the future of the East Bay innovation economy\, the industries poised for growth\, and the leaders shaping the region’s next era of investment\, development\, and job creation. \nMore speakers to be announced soon. Get your tickets today!
