The mission of the San Diego East County EDC is to foster economic prosperity and enhance the quality of life in San Diego's East County. As a public-private partnership, the East County EDC accomplishes its mission in a variety of ways. 

East County EDC sees its role as a catalyst for the development of extended enterprises which comprise all of our resources (e.g., large businesses, small businesses, infrastructure components, government, including the military, universities, trade schools, etc.) that can deliver the required level of value and innovation to all facets of our region's economy.

Connectory.com, a project of East County EDC, has become a premier business-to-business information tool for the United States.  The Connectory focuses on primary industry/technology companies and their buyers and suppliers of goods and services.  The high quality Connectory database details company capabilities and capacities at every level of the supply chain.  Substantial investment by Connectory supporters makes all of this unique and critical information available at no cost to participating companies. Expansion from the San Diego region to the State of California began in mid-2002 and expansion across the entire nation began in 2009. Given its birth in California, the Golden State still accounts for more than 80 percent of total profile population.  Expansion continues as we develop regional economic development partnerships both in California and the U.S.
