Invitation to Upcoming Innovation Showcase: AI Permitting

California’s Governor’s Office of Business and Economic Development, in collaboration with the California Housing and Homelessness Agency and the Office of Data and Innovation, is inviting innovators and vendors to participate in an Innovation Showcase focused on AI permitting, aligned with Governor’s Executive Order N-30-25. This event, hosted alongside the Government Operations Agency, serves purely as a market research initiative and is not a procurement or solicitation for contracts. Participants are encouraged to engage to share innovative solutions that could inform future state approaches to streamlining permitting processes using artificial intelligence. The opportunity is open to all qualified vendors and innovators without set-aside restrictions, and responses are due by August 12, 2026. Interested parties must register through the official portal at the provided URL and direct inquiries to the primary point of contact at Showcase@innovation.ca.gov. The event is state-funded and open to participants across California, with no physical location specified for attendance, and no financial award or contractual obligation is anticipated as a result of participation.
