Welcome from Mayor Reed

Welcome to the new sanjose.org! 

The people of San José and Silicon Valley have changed the world. The innovations that have come out of our collective efforts over the past few decades have helped raise the living standards for hundreds of millions of people around the world. We are at the epicenter of the transformation of society from the industrial age to the information age and into the knowledge age. 

San José -- the Capital of Silicon Valley, the innovation center of the world – is the tenth largest city in the nation and the third largest city in California, but our role in the world is more than just economic development and technological innovation.

San José is a beacon of peace and prosperity that shows the world what can happen when people from around the world come together and focus on what they have in common rather than on their differences. 

We are a community that joins together in our diverse restaurants and gathering places but also online. That’s why I invite you to join our community online at sanjose.org.

Whether you’re a visitor or a resident, share your videos and photos, thoughts and opinions, and let people see the magic that comes from a place of diversity and innovation. 

-Mayor Chuck Reed
