In addition, our professional programs allow career individuals to similarly continue to grow their skills.
Global innovation collider
Our innovation collider programs such as the Global Partners at UC Berkeley, Global Venture Lab, Berkeley Method of Entrepreneurship Bootcamp and Startup Semester create rich interactions between students and professors from around the world to create innovative projects, startups, and research.
Driving future technologies
SCET’s X at Berkeley initiative allows students and professionals to discover the "Future of X." Applied research topics in our labs focus on emerging new economy areas such as data analytics, autonomous cars, blockchain, cybersecurity, plant-based meats and many more. Results from our labs create knowledge and inform the Sutardja Center's undergraduate, graduate, professional, and executive courses and programs.
What is Innovation Collider?
The SCET fosters creates an innovation environment by facilitating "collisions" of people and groups that can make unique contributions by bringing diverse perspectives, backgrounds, and experiences. Our Innovation Collider brings together students, faculty, investors, alumni, professionals, executives, firms, and global institutions to connect through our programs, courses, and X-Labs. Through these collisions, SCET can create new ventures, corporate innovations, social impact and help entrepreneurs discover what's next.
