EIG will operate from the Silicon Valley headquarters of Bridge Bank, National Association, a full service professional business bank and a subsidiary of Bridge Capital.

Bridge Bank president and CEO Daniel Myers said the bank was founded to serve all sectors of Silicon Valley and the broader technology business community, which is continuously being reshaped by new innovation.

"The creation of our new Energy and Infrastructure Group is reinforcement of the bank’s commitment to serving the changing needs of businesses and support the nation’s goal of greater energy independence with economically sound alternative energy ventures," Myers said.
