Silicon Valley, located on the southern fringe of San Francisco, has the largest concentration of high-tech companies in the United States and is home to the headquarters of companies like Facebook, Uber, Apple, Google, Tesla, and others. It is also home to the leading venture capital firms in the United States and prestigious universities like Stanford and Berkeley College.
This zone, dedicated to innovation, technology, and entrepreneurship, generates 101% of all patents registered in the United States and attracts a third of all venture capital investment in the country. It generates 225,300 of the 387,000 patents registered in the United States.
In past editions, the mission has allowed participants to interact with innovative entrepreneurs experimenting with new technologies in California, create startups or project incubators, or develop cutting-edge business ideas.
