Hello friends
University of California, San Diego Extension today, in response to requests from across the globe for assistance in understanding the positive transformation of the San Diego economy over the last 20 years, announced the establishment of Global CONNECT, an international network of individuals, organizations and regional collaboratives supporting the establishment and growth of high technology and life science companies.
Global CONNECT will provide entrepreneurs and startups in member regions access to global capital providers and financial markets, research opportunities, corporate partners, and new customer channels. International corporations, universities, and research institutions will have a powerful new resource to link with emerging companies for partnership and collaboration. Shared best practices and resources, improved assessment of innovation capacity, and strengthened university/industry interaction will bring the benefits of globalization to regions and entrepreneurs worldwide.
Associate Vice Chancellor at UCSD and co-founder of UCSD CONNECT, Mary Walshok, Ph.D., said that Global CONNECT is the natural outcome of the new economy that demands regional support for technology commercialization. “San Diego has a long history of successful collaboration and innovation and we are delighted to be the hub for a series of conferences, workshops and exchanges that will link regions with entrepreneurial aspirations and capabilities worldwide,” said Walshok.
Support for Global CONNECT comes from members and corporate sponsorship. Sun Microsystems, a leading provider of technology solutions for life sciences companies, is the founding industry sponsor. “Innovation is an integral part of Sun's philosophy, and Sun is committed to fostering the development of regional entrepreneurship in life sciences and technology," said Howard Asher, director of life sciences at Sun Microsystems, Inc. "We believe in collaborating with organizations that will help enable new technological advances and drive future economic growth, so it is a natural fit for Sun to work with Global CONNECT in supporting emerging companies around the world."
Have a nice day
