It is our hope that each University can leverage the UC Berkeley ecosystem and that we can support their own, unique, plans to develop globally innovative programs. - Ikhlaq Sidhu
Goals for the partnership program vary for each institution. Some of these institutions send faculty to learn the Berkeley Method of Entrepreneurship in order to build upon new teaching models in their own locations. Others send new venture teams to learn from and network in the Silicon Valley ecosystem. Additionally, each partner 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.
