| East Bay Innovation Group (eBig) - For those of us who live and work in the San Francisco East Bay, it can be difficult to find time to attend events down in Silicon Valley, over in the City, or in the North Bay. For many, living in the East Bay is a quality of life decision – more affordable housing, great schools, more time with our families – but one sacrifice has been the ability to take advantage of all of the great technology forums and workshops offered outside of our area.
The technology community in the East Bay is growing rapidly, and yet existing networking and technology groups have been slow to respond to the huge demand. Until now!
The mission of the East Bay Innovation Group (eBig), is to create a dynamic community that taps into the local resources and knowledge of area businesses, professionals, city and local governments, entrepreneurs, technically skilled employees, venture capitalists, and industry experts to benefit from shared involvement.
eBig, a non-profit regional organization, creates public-benefit partnerships with government, education, business and the community. |
