About The Spinoff 

TeamCalifornia invites international investors to discover Southern California’s opportunities beyond well-known cities.  This exclusive Spinoff highlights three of the region’s most dynamic and often-overlooked areas — Imperial Valley/Southern Border, Riverside County, and San Bernardino County. This two-day event showcases industry-ready communities and introduces attendees to the public-private partnerships, workforce programs, and innovation hubs that make Southern California a premier destination for foreign direct investment (FDI).

Each evening, attendees are invited to a regional reception for informal networking with local elected officials, industry partners, and TeamCalifornia members. The program is designed to foster relationships, share success stories, and provide a clear roadmap for investors looking to establish or expand operations in California. Please note that attendees must attend the entirety of the program.

TeamCalifornia will host a webinar series for each stop of the Spinoff beginning January 2026.  The webinar series will feature speakers from the ecosystem that will present an update on resources available to support foreign businesses expansion within their region to compel them to participate in the in-person roadshow program. The webinars will be recorded and made available for on-demand listening.
