As 2014 begins, Marin Economic Forum continued working with the City of Novato to move forward a marketing effort for life-sciences businesses to grow and to come to Marin County. With commercial real estate rising in the Bay Area’s biotech centers, Marin County provides an attractive place to work and live for new and maturing businesses. The City of Novato, through their economic development office, has been the lead on an regional effort to look at this industry as a place of long-term business development and commercial real estate demand. Please contact MEF or the City of Novato for more information.
2014 has started with new partnerships and an expansion of what Marin Economic Forum is doing to increase the visibility and networking for businesses in Marin County.
The Marin Economic Forum is proud to join forces with the Marin Business Forum (MBF). The Marin Business Forum (MBF) is a community where like-minded business owners can share valuable information to improve business practices and productivity by leveraging the power of collaboration. This organization is focused on southern Marin, but open to all of Marin County.
MBF was created by local business owners and professionals, who realized the need for a community platform to collaborate, share information and ideas to help each other efficiently grow their businesses. This partnership provides Marin Economic Forum with a way to grow small business networking to help foster business relationships, job growth, and spread the word about issues and activities that affect Marin County businesses, large and small.
