🏭 Made in California! Built for the Future! 🇺🇸 Yesterday, my California State Treasurer’s Office hosted our 2nd Annual California Creates: Golden State Manufacturing Forum at Aggie Square in Sacramento! California is home to more than 45,000 manufacturing businesses, supporting 1.24 million jobs and generating $382 BILLION in annual economic output! We brought together manufacturers, innovators, policymakers, and financial experts to discuss access to capital, cutting red tape, workforce development, AI, biotechnology, and growing California’s creative economy. I especially enjoyed our fireside chat highlighting women shaping the future of manufacturing! Our goal: Help businesses start, grow, innovate, and create more good-paying jobs right here in California! Let’s keep making things in California! 💪 #MadeInCalifornia #CaliforniaCreates #Manufacturing #Innovation #SmallBusiness #EconomicDevelopment #GoodJobs #WomenInManufacturing #California @CAEATFA @sacstate @CalTreasurer @KhaimMorton @1800GotScrap @cmta
