Meets September – June
The economy of San Mateo County is always looking for ways to foster increased economic development activity – this includes exploring new emerging industries as well as products and services that power information technology. Innovations arising from both the health care sector and  higher education institutions have built a strong cluster in medical devices and biotech.  Does San Mateo have the ingredients to make it the destination for “green technologies”?
 
The business climate of the region is significantly impacted by policy decisions made in Sacramento. Accordingly, SAMCEDA  looks to support bills that improve the environment for business expansion and foster growth, while opposing those that would stifle innovation.  

On a local level, SAMCEDA  members are committed to creating proactive programs to foster communications among business, government, advocacy and professional organizations.  As San Mateo County continues to evolve and new issues come to the fore, the SAMCEDA will continue to work with our members to create an environment where companies can thrive.
