About Us

The Silicon Valley Leadership Group was founded in 1977 by one of Silicon Valley’s pioneers, David Packard.

Today, SVLG serves as the nation’s most effective and dynamic business association representing the innovation economy and its ecosystem.

SVLG represents hundreds of innovation economy companies across the broader Silicon Valley region. Stretching from Santa Cruz County in the south up through Santa Clara, Alameda, San Mateo and San Francisco counties, our membership includes many of the region’s leading employers.

The majority of our members are technology companies — ranging from software and consumer devices to nanotech, semiconductors and cleantech. The balance of our membership includes a variety of industries that support the innovation ecosystem, including financial and professional services, healthcare, higher education, nonprofits and more. Our membership includes businesses of all sizes, as well as most of the large brands in the Valley.

SVLG’s voice reflects the entire innovation ecosystem and includes academic institutions, nonprofits and public service organizations. And our strength in advocacy derives from our ability to bring diverse sectors together under a unified voice, the relationships we’ve built and maintained from decades of engagement, and the extensive presence of our members throughout the region, state, and nation.

SVLG serves as the nation’s most effective and dynamic business association representing the innovation economy and its ecosystem. Our members engage with SVLG because they are committed to our region and want to make a meaningful, measurable difference.
