The startup scene in United States

LLNL says its Innovation and Partnerships Office (IPO) supports external technology commercialization through industry engagement, research collaboration, licensing, and partnerships. Its address is 7000 East Avenue, Livermore, California 94550. LLNL’s listed technology portfolios include advanced compute and AI, advanced manufacturing, chemicals and materials, energy and environment, instruments and sensors, lasers and optics, life science and biotech, national security, software, and space. These portfolios are not a measure of local startup concentration.

LLNL describes its regional innovation network as spanning the Tri-Valley, San Francisco Bay Area, and California. It identifies i-GATE as a Tri-Valley collaboration among the City of Livermore, Sandia California, and LLNL. i-GATE reports that Daybreak Labs provides R&D and office space to more than a dozen pre-seed and seed startups, operating in areas including medical diagnostics, food technology, materials, industrial technology, and life sciences.

Companies exploring national-laboratory collaboration can use the Livermore Valley Open Campus contact form to inquire about collaboration or a campus visit; project access is subject to follow-up.

Daybreak Labs’ Fall 2026 Build Before You Pitch cohort was underway on October 4, 2026, and its listed September 1 entry deadline had passed. Separately, ANSYS reported completing its acquisition of 100% of LSTC on November 1, 2019, for approximately $779.9 million; LSTC became a wholly owned subsidiary.
