Greater Sacramento Economic Council

We’re the best out West for business

Greater Sacramento, the capital of the world’s fifth largest economy, is situated within the Northern California Megaregion, sharing an economy and workforce with the San Francisco Bay Area. Here, companies recruit diverse, highly educated talent. There are 300,000+ four-year college students enrolled within a 100-mile radius and two nationally ranked educational institutions in the region, UC Davis and Sacramento State. The region is home to Aggie Square, a $1.1 billion mixed-used life science innovation district, and the California Mobility Center, a partnership of global leaders accelerating the commercialization of new technologies. The region’s interconnected transportation system, including an international airport and Amtrak network, allows for efficient travel and transportation of goods across the U.S. and world. We have the talent, access and operational costs companies need to succeed. That’s why leaders like Apple, Intel, Bayer Crop Science, and Accenture invest in Greater Sacramento.
