Los Angeles County Technology Week

Los Angeles County was not known for its high technology, although many of the largest technology firms had started at Caltech, USC or UCLA.

Often, these firms then relocated to Silicon Valley, San Diego, Austin, Boston or other technology locations due to greater access to funding.

Therefore, L.A. County Technology Week was established to promote the County’s technology resources and potential. “Tech Week” is managed by Technology and Development Group, LLC (Jim Schaefer), in association with the L.A. County Business Technology Center.

In its six years of operation, it has held major technology events throughout the County, with top technology speakers from around the U.S. Most recently, Tech Week showcased breakthrough “green automotive technology” at an event at the Business Technology Center.
