San Bernardino County Proclaims April as Innovation Month Through 2030 in Collaboration with the Inland Empire Tech Bridge

San Bernardino County Board of Supervisors convenes for a regularly scheduled meeting, joined by regional leaders and community members to discuss policies shaping the county’s future.

In early April, by a unanimous vote, the San Bernardino County Board of Supervisors, chaired by Supervisor Dawn Rowe, officially proclaimed April as Innovation Month through the year 2030, joining Riverside County in this vital initiative to strengthen Southern California’s innovation ecosystem.

This milestone follows a strategic outreach effort by the Inland Empire Tech Bridge team, who connected with Chair Rowe to explore how the County could further support innovation and economic development alongside its neighboring jurisdictions. The unanimous designation underscores San Bernardino County’s commitment to fostering technological advancement, supporting local entrepreneurs, and positioning the Inland Empire as a national hub for innovation.

As Innovation Month continues, the Inland Empire Tech Bridge looks forward to hosting a range of programs and events designed to connect local startups, small businesses, and researchers with new opportunities in government, defense, and commercial markets.

This partnership highlights the power of public-private collaboration to drive meaningful change in the Inland Empire—strengthening workforce development, economic growth, and national security innovation.
