The Monterey Bay region, nestled along the stunning California coast, has long been known for its natural beauty and vibrant communities. However, there’s more to this picturesque area than meets the eye. Today, we’re excited to introduce the Monterey Bay Tech Hub—a collaborative effort dedicated to fostering advanced air mobility (AAM) and driving economic growth across San Benito, Santa Cruz, and Monterey counties.

Unlocking Potential: A New Era for the Monterey Bay Region

As an emerging tech hub for AAM, the Monterey Bay region holds immense potential for economic development and job creation. The Leadership Council of the Tech Hub is committed to strategic collaboration, focusing on workforce training and regional infrastructure to support the electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) and hydrogen-fueled aircraft industries.

Our Mission: Shaping the Future of AAM

Our mission is clear: to position the tri-county region as a global tech nexus for AAM. The Monterey Bay Tech Hub concentrates on four key areas:

1. Workforce Training: We’re committed to equipping our workforce with the skills and knowledge necessary to thrive in the rapidly evolving field of advanced air mobility. Through partnerships with educational institutions and industry leaders, we’re creating pathways for local residents to access high-quality training and career opportunities.
2. AAM Infrastructure: Building the infrastructure of the future is essential for the success of the AAM industry. The Tech Hub is working closely with local governments and private sector partners to develop the necessary infrastructure to support eVTOL and hydrogen-fueled aircraft operations in the region.
3. Innovation & Entrepreneurship: The Monterey Bay region has always been a hotbed of innovation, and we’re committed to fostering the next generation of AAM entrepreneurs and startups. Through mentorship programs, funding opportunities, and access to cutting-edge technology, we’re helping local innovators turn their ideas into reality.
4. Collective Political Engagement: Driving policy change at the local, state, and federal levels is essential for the growth of the AAM industry. The Tech Hub is actively engaging with policymakers to advocate for policies that support innovation, job creation, and economic growth in the Monterey Bay region.
