Join Our Worldwide Innovation Network

The Global Partnership program is the premier international academic program at the Sutardja Center. Select universities are chosen on an annual basis for a three-year partnership that allows each institution to collaborate with the Sutardja Center (SCET) in the following ways:

  • Access to SCET programming for both students and professional at partner-based pricing
  • Publicity and recognition on website and social media as partner with SCET
  • Engagement with SCET faculty and graduate students
  • Participation in SCET events held on the Berkeley campus
  • Access to high-end collaboration space (approximately 4,000 sq. ft.)
  • Knowledge transfer and education in BMoE through opportunities to attend various courses
  • Opportunity to send visiting scholars and professors to SCET

"As the largest entrepreneurial center at UC Berkeley, the Sutardja Center is committed to empowering entrepreneurs to positively change the world. We believe in responsible innovation and the added value of diversity."

Develop Talent & Build Your Entrepreneurial Ecosystem

Learn and Develop Talent

Global partners can build entrepreneurial talent for students and faculty by receiving discounted rates and access to

  • Students: Send your brightest students to Berkeley SCET courses
  • Professional Development: Send your faculty and staff to our professional programs to learn the latest trends in innovation and entrepreneurship
  • Global Innovation Projects: Attend our international bootcamp programs to help students, faculty and staff learn how to launch innovative projects

Create and Build the Ecosystem & Culture at Your Institution

The program allows partner institutions to send faculty to SCET to learn the Berkeley Method of Entrepreneurship in order to build upon new teaching models in their own locations.

Partners are also able to send new venture teams to learn from and network in the Silicon Valley ecosystem. Additionally, partners can benefit from learning from other global partners as part of the larger network. The partner institutions selected for this program by UC Berkeley will jointly contribute to this new model for Global Entrepreneurship & Innovation.
