Corporate Innovation Outposts in Silicon Valley – 2025 Update

Silicon Valley continues to reaffirm its role as the global epicenter of innovation, with corporates – both local and global – playing a key role in this scenario.

While its dominance remains unchallenged, the Bay Area constantly reinvents itself, expanding year after year and sparking new waves of technological progress.

That is why it is crucial to monitor its evolution closely. In this Research Brief, we share the most up-to-date figures of corporate innovation presence in the Bay Area, building on the Report we released in 2022. For a more comprehensive analysis, we refer back to that publication.

Further details can also be explored through the online directory and interactive map available on our MTB Ecosystem platform, featuring individual profiles of all mapped entities.

On the occasion of our Scaleup Summit in San Francisco, we have also refreshed our research on the scaleup landscape (“tech scaleups”) and government-led initiatives (“ecosystem builder outposts”), while introducing a brand-new analysis of Bay Area VCs. All reports are available for download on the MTB Ecosystem platform, along with the directory and interactive map.
