Also known as the City of Angels, LaLa Land and the City of Cities!

The entrepreneurial heart of California

The Silicon Beach

Los Angeles stands out as a prominent hub for venture capital, hence the self-proclaimed name “The Silicon Beach” of California. Within its vibrant ecosystem, numerous startups in cleantech, consumertech, sportech, mediatech, greentech, and healthtech sectors find their origin in LA.

 

But that’s not all – It champions sustainability through stringent green standards and ambitious initiatives, spearheading a movement towards a cleaner, greener future. And with thriving sectors in healthcare, creative industries, sports, and circularity, LA is a true powerhouse across the board!
