Global Venture Lab

We will not be hosting a Global Venture Lab in August 2019, but stay tuned for more information about GVL 2020!

The Global Venture Lab (GVL) is an international summit of academics, entrepreneurs, and innovators sharing common research and educational programs to spur new industry and economic growth. Since our first event in 2009, GVL continues to be an extraordinary opportunity to network, learn, and share best practices among entrepreneurship centers around the world.

We look forward to hosting you at UC Berkeley!
