San Jose is home to an increasingly robust network of accelerators, incubators, maker spaces and co-working spaces. This map shows the locations of more than 20 facilities. This “urban tech ecosystem” supports entrepreneurs, inventors, makers and creatives—helping them achieve their dreams and enabling productive collaboration with others.

This ecosystem is concentrated in the Downtown core, which features the kind of walkable, amenity-rich urban environment favored by young talent, global talent, and creatives. The ecosystem also includes unique facilities in the North San Jose Innovation District, Berryessa BART Station Area, and Edenvale that support technology demonstration and commercialization.

There are more than 1,700 tech companies in San Jose.
