Emerging Investors Conference

Affiliated faculty, staff, and collaborators from the University of California, Berkeley Sutardja Center for Entrepreneurship & Technology are partnering with the European Innovation Academy to teach 100+ students innovation, entrepreneurship, leadership, and storytelling skills in the country of Georgia from September 5-9.

SCET leaders including Managing Director, Ken Singer, Global Programs Director, David Law, instructor Gail Gannon, and long-time collaborators Chris Burry, Moor Xu, and Stephen Torres will be in Georgia to teach and work directly with students using the Berkeley Method of Entrepreneurship curriculum.

“We are excited to have the opportunity to work with students in Georgia and all over the world at this innovation leadership bootcamp,” says Ken Singer, SCET Managing Director. “Georgia is quickly becoming a worldwide technology hub, and we are excited to provide training to students there to help them create impactful products, companies, and technologies.”

In 2022-23, the Innovation and Entrepreneurship Leadership Bootcamp of the European Innovation Academy will be held in Batumi, Georgia. One hundred students will take part in the world’s largest entrepreneurship program this year, and around three hundred students next year.

Although slightly more than four months old, the war in Ukraine has already disrupted hundreds of thousands of lives, leaving civilians of all ages with interrupted futures and limited options. Specifically, Ukraine’s impressive innovation and entrepreneurship environment has been compromised as companies and entrepreneurs have fled the ongoing conflict, leaving vacuum in terms of the innovation ecosystem. Because of its work in building the knowledge economy, Georgia is a natural location to assist Ukrainian entrepreneurs in bridging the cap caused by the conflict.
