Author: Meet Global @Business Next Media October 20, 2025 Duration: 25:24

In this special edition of EP 3–8, we explore how two innovation capitals—San Francisco and Los Angeles—revealed contrasting yet complementary visions of the tech future during Tech Week 2025.

From OpenAI’s pragmatic focus on AI infrastructure at Fort Mason to IBM Ventures’ high-stakes corporate venture night downtown, San Francisco showcased a city obsessed with building the backbone of intelligence. A week later, Los Angeles responded with cinematic flair: AI-driven fashion in Beverly Hills, immersive storytelling summits in Culver City, and a CEO retreat at Terranea where culture met capital.

This episode examines how the Bay Area engineered the systems of tomorrow while LA gave them soul—marking a shift from innovation as technology to innovation as experience.
