Since our start in 2013, our volunteer network has nearly tripled and we have launched a variety of programs which continue to strengthen Pasadena’s innovation community through education and resource exchange.

A range of businesses are thriving in Pasadena—software development, aerospace, biotech, video games, healthcare, clean tech, engineering, and more. Innovate Pasadena has played an important role in fostering collaboration and engagement with its innovation assets, companies, talent and community.
