About The Valley Economic Alliance
The Valley Economic Alliance is the San Fernando Valley’s regional economic development organization. We convene business, government, education, nonprofit, and community leaders to strengthen the Valley’s economy and enhance quality of life for the more than two million people who live, work, learn, and invest here. Through strategic partnerships, collaborative leadership, and innovative programs, we help build a stronger, more prosperous, and more resilient San Fernando Valley.
Economic Development
A thriving economy creates opportunity for everyone. We work to attract new employers and investment to the San Fernando Valley while helping existing businesses grow and succeed. By connecting companies with valuable resources, reducing barriers to expansion, supporting entrepreneurship, promoting tourism, and showcasing the advantages of living, working, learning, and doing business in the Valley, we strengthen our regional economy and position the Valley for long-term prosperity.
Workforce Development
A strong workforce is the foundation of a strong economy. We collaborate with schools, colleges, workforce agencies, employers, and community organizations to prepare today’s workforce for tomorrow’s careers. Whether helping students explore career pathways, connecting job seekers to employment and training opportunities, or assisting employers in recruiting qualified talent, we are committed to creating pathways to economic mobility and business success.
Regional Development
Great communities attract great people, businesses, and investment. We champion initiatives that enhance the Valley’s quality of life by supporting housing development, environmental sustainability, transportation and infrastructure improvements, public safety, parks and open space, healthcare access, arts and culture, community beautification, and neighborhood vitality. By bringing diverse partners together around shared priorities, we help create vibrant, inclusive communities where people want to live, work, raise families, and build their futures.
