San Francisco, CA – Mayor London N. Breed today announced Prologis, Inc. the global leader in logistics real estate, as a major sponsor of the 2023 Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) Leaders’ Meeting in November. San Francisco is serving as host of the APEC Leaders’ Meeting, which takes in the City from November 12-16, 2023. As the official host city, San Francisco, under the mayor’s leadership, is highlighting the City’s and region’s economic strength as leaders from 21 economies gather to discuss ways to create a resilient and sustainable future for the world.
Prologis - which operates in 19 countries, including the United States, Canada, China and Japan - donated $1 million to the San Francisco Special Events Committee, which is responsible for all the APEC-related fundraising efforts. The Committee has raised $20.1 million to date.
“As a global enterprise and one of the largest companies headquartered in our City, we delighted that Prologis is supporting San Francisco’s hosting of APEC,” said Mayor London Breed. “This generosity demonstrates the company’s confidence in San Francisco’s future as the hub for technology innovation as well as their commitment to fostering continued economic growth in the City.”
“The company’s early days were modest as my partners and I began with a promissory note from Crocker Bank more than forty years ago. Today, we’re the global leader in our space,” said Hamid R. Moghadam, Prologis’ co-founder, chairman and CEO. “San Francisco is a special place to do business, with an unparalleled talent pool and a culture of innovation. We’re proud to be sponsoring APEC Economic Leaders Week 2023, which promotes fair and open trade and investment as well as advance sustainable and inclusive economic growth.”
Prologis' contribution will help enhance the experience for the 21 APEC member economies at the conference this month. This support not only strengthens this international conference but also underscores the company’s dedication to community engagement on a global stage.
