GLOBALSF

GlobalSF is a not-for-profit organization dedicated to paving the way for international companies to locate, invest, and grow in the City of San Francisco while helping locally-based companies expand into global markets. Through a public-private partnership with the City and County of San Francisco’s Office of Economic and Workforce Development (OEWD), GlobalSF oversees the City’s ChinaSF, LatinSF and SFAsia initiatives.

Global:SF’s purpose is to enhance the global competitiveness of San Francisco. The new organization will promote San Francisco as the location of choice in the world for business and life. Building on the success of ChinaSF and the other international initiatives previously housed under the San Francisco Chamber of Commerce, Global:SF will operate under the auspices of the City of San Francisco.

Created in 2008, China:SF was created as a public-private partnership to identify, attract and retain inbound investors and companies from China. The program was initiated by OEWD with operations made possible with a grant from the City of San Francisco, and additional financial support from the private sector. In 2015, China:SF was joined by two other international initiatives, Latin:SF and SF:Asia, to further promote San Francisco as a destination of choice for inbound global companies and investors.
