275 BUSINESS VIEW MAGAZINE JANUARY 2020 Advancing an Ecosystem of Innovation in Santa Clara The world of computing has changed. Computing has evolved beyond traditional clients and servers and is distributed into all things – from smart devices and computers, to the network and the cloud. At the center of this world of smart, connected computing and disruptive technologies - the ones that are moving the world forward - you’ll find Intel. We predict that by 2020, there could be as many as 200 billion “smart devices” in operation around the world, resulting in an explosive growth in the amount of data generated. Mining that data for insights that can help solve some of the world’s most challenging problems, requires faster and more powerful computing, storage and networking technologies. Silicon solutions are driving these innovations, and many of these innovations are happening in Santa Clara, California, home to Intel’s global headquarters. Since 1970, when we purchased our first piece of property – a 26-acre pear orchard on the corner of Coffin Road and Central Expressway, Intel has called Santa Clara home. Today, Intel’s 6,700 Santa Clara-based employees span functions like engineering, design, research and development, and software engineering, as well as several corporate functions, including sales and marketing, legal, supply chain, human resources, and more. The site is also home to the Intel Museum, which showcases five decades of Intel innovations, as well as a world-class, energy-efficient data center. We are proud that our presence in Santa Clara has helped to grow an ecosystem of innovation here. Our global investment organization, Intel Capital, is based in Santa Clara, and invests across a broad spectrum of technology innovation to encourage the creation of the technologies of tomorrow including AI, the data center, the Internet of Things, autonomous driving, semiconductor manufacturing, security, diversity, and more. Each year, Intel spends millions with Santa Clara-based businesses, and we’ve seen companies we buy from set-up operations in Santa Clara and invest in our community. Our success in Santa Clara would not be possible without a strong partnership with the City of Santa Clara and our shared focus on environmental sustainability, community engagement, and transparency. From investing in water conservation and restoration, to encouraging and inspiring Santa Clara youth to consider careers in science, technology, engineering, and math, we’re excited for the future. We hope you’ll join us. ...... For more information, please visit our website www.intel.com/California
