A community of science, a tradition of innovation.
 

 

Increasingly, businesses in the high-tech sector are discovering the many advantages of locating in Pasadena.  The City provides the innovative environment necessary for the future of high-tech businesses. 

 

Pasadena is home to the California Institute of Technology (Caltech), which provides a world-class intellectual resource and a positive environment for technology commercialization.  Many tech industry giants can trace their beginnings to Pasadena. Intel, Xerox, TRW, and Amgen initially evolved with local technology.  Today, Pasadena is home to several other industry leaders.

 

Pasadena’s history of education and ingenuity combine with its local resources for the creation and growth of businesses. From physical infrastructure, such as a Citywide fiber optic loop to an impressive business and institutional network, Pasadena provides critical resources for high-tech firms.
