Our Mission

Long Beach Innovates is a collaborative to bring together coders, policy makers, community leaders, new businesses, neighborhood leaders, and artists to improve our city. We try to get a jump on city hall leaders to show them what is possible with advanced and creative thinkers and doers.

We don't really care what projects that you want to work on. As long as they are positve projects for our Long Beach (and surrounding communites), then we are happy to help, provide effort, give guidance, and support your projects.

For now, we are going to avoid cannabis, alcohol, or other experimental drug/medicine therapy as these fields are outside of our bounds of experstise.

We would be happy to talk with you about ground-breaking ideas in these fields, but it will be a long sell to get the proper experts and expertise to make these ideas happen.

We are currently focusing on areas of expertise that we can contribute to. Namely reducing homelessness, utilizing vacant spaces for productive uses, helping people learn to code, showing the benefits of cohesive communites and the arts, and putting business partners together in geographically-connected areas to improve our city.
