California Innovation

In just 159 years, California has become an economic forerunner and global leader in scientific research, education, technology, trade, entertainment, architecture, design, medicine, recreation and the environment.

California’s technological advances date as far back as the Gold Rush, with its innovative methods of water and land movement that were later key to the growth of California's present agricultural industry.

How far California has come!

The inventions of Californians have influenced the lifestyles, work and education of global humanity. Today, California’s technology trade is focused on new developments in aerospace engineering, medical advancement and microchip technology.

Innovation is one of the most exciting aspects of living in California.  What new wave will sweep the globe from our Golden State?  Knowledge-base chips in the human brain's memory sector?  A search engine embedded into the visual cortex?  Architecture which adapts to human thought?

Californians will do it, and with style.

There are many groups of creative innovators in California, including the Bay Area Science & Innovation Consortium, the California Innovation Corridor Network, the Design Innovation Institute of San Diego, the USC Stevens Institute for Innovation, and the Lyles Center for Innovation and Entrepreneurship to name just a few.

The Tech Museum of Innovation in San Jose inspires young people to become innovators in the technologies of the future.  It's totally fun and worth the trip!

While California has grown and developed immensely since the Gold Rush years, the dreams of Californians remain much the same - to create an environment that liberates innovative creativity to rise to the challenges of the future.

California innovation rocks the future.
