The city of Glendale’s efforts to grow the tech industry
including the creation of “knowledge sharing” or places where
local talent could go to innovate, inspire, and meet one another,
inspired the creation of its Glendale Ecosystem for Tech Startups
initiative. This helped focus on attracting new businesses
including high-end co-working space operators; developing a
strategy to offer more mentorship, business development, and
investment opportunities to local startups; and helping tech
companies expand.
