Oakland is currently home to over 300 technology related firms, both large and small, that are taking advantage of its position as a "Smart City."  Oakland boasts an extensive underground fiber-optic cable network and is a regional telecommunications hub. The City also supports a high technology incubator that is home to over 30 growing firms, all located under one roof. Oakland’s proximity to Silicon Valley to the South and to San Francisco’s burgeoning multimedia "gulch" makes the City an ideal location for new and growing high technology companies. Its roster of companies, combined with a unique urban environment, makes Oakland truly a "Smart City."
