Mission, Vision, Values
Last Updated: December 8, 2023
Our mission is to foster the health and vitality of Silicon Valley for all the people who live and work here. We pursue our mission by:
- Providing data, research and analysis through our research arm, the Institute for Regional Studies.
- Convening the region’s established and emerging leaders—across business, government, academia, labor, and the broader community—to take up the challenges spotlighted by the research.
We envision a region that:
- Is home to a dynamic economy providing opportunity for all
- Addresses its sustainability challenges
- Achieves strength through diversity, in its many forms
- Is informed by science and rooted in data
- Searches for solutions through bold experimentation
As an organization we:
- Broaden the voices involved in our work
- Look beyond traditional power dynamics
- Consider equity to be non-negotiable
- Provide a workplace that is collaborative, inclusive and mutually respectful
- Seek to embody the change we want to see in the world
