Each year, we partner with Fremont Unified School District, Mission Valley ROP, Ohlone College, and CSU East Bay to bring hundreds of students to tour facilities of industry-leading companies across biomedical, cleantech, autotech, electronics, and semiconductor sectors. Fremont's driving industries are hungry for talent, so what better way to excite our local generation of workforce than by showing them directly the exciting range of high-paying career pathways that exist in modern manufacturing. This year’s event takes place October 7-11, 2024, and will include host companies such as Tesla, Boehringer Ingelheim, Nextracker, Lam Research, Thermo Fisher, Bloom Energy, and many more.
The Milmont Industrial project has reached a major milestone, going vertical with tilt-up construction of its 267,000-sq. ft. facility.

Positioned in the heart of Fremont’s "Advanced Manufacturing Row” in Warm Springs, the project is set to attract top-tier tenants and create middle-income jobs. We’re thrilled to see this project take shape!
