The roundtable highlighted coordinated marketing, transportation, and city-hosted celebrations so residents and businesses across Cupertino and the region can share in visitor spending and global exposure.
   

• Cupertino not meeting its housing goals (sanjosespotlight.com) — Cupertino is falling behind on its state-required housing targets, especially for low- and moderate-income homes, forcing the city toward denser zoning and more multifamily projects. Recent approvals on Stevens Creek Boulevard and changes to The Rise at Vallco have shrunk affordable unit counts, triggering a 180‑day scramble to identify new housing sites and potentially reshape the city’s suburban character.
   

• CFOs move finance AI from pilots to deployment in 2026 (fortune.com subscription) — Cupertino gets a mention as Apple, based in the city, partners with Google to power future Apple Intelligence features using Gemini AI models, while CFOs broadly accelerate AI adoption in finance.
