Industry Initiatives Program

SPECIALIZED SUPPORT FOR FORWARD-THINKING COMPANIES

San Francisco has long been a beacon to people and companies who think outside the box. As a result, the City has become an international hub for a number of pioneering, forward-thinking industries, including Biotechnology, Digital Media & Information Technology, Clean Technology, Financial and Professional Services, and Retail and Hospitality. Dedicated to continuing this tradition of business excellence, OEWD's Industry Initiatives Program focuses on the unique needs of businesses in order to foster their continued growth and vibrancy. OEWD also pays special attention to our artisan manufacturing and industrial businesses—a sector that consistently provides quality jobs to our local residents. For emerging and established companies alike, the Industry Initiatives Program serves as a centralized clearinghouse of information and services to support their ongoing success.

  DEDICATION AND DECISIVE ACTION  
  "We always knew it would be ideal to be adjacent to UCSF in Mission Bay. It was the City's decisive actions in other arenas—tax relief for Biotech firms, expedited permitting and relaxed parking restrictions—that sent the strong message that San Francisco is committed to helping Biotech."
