Silicon Valley Innovation Journey
Google, Stanford, founder sessions: a week at the epicenter of the tech world, where ideas become global companies.
The Challenge.
The task
we faced.
Silicon Valley remains the place where the future of the tech industry is decided. With a German delegation we explored the Bay Area for a week, from the campuses of the tech giants to the garages of the next founder generation.
The Solution.
What we made
of it.
On the Google campus in Mountain View, participants saw how one of the world's most valuable companies organizes innovation, and what German companies can adopt from that work culture (and what they'd better not).
At Stanford we discussed AI and robotics with researchers, and the question of why so many global companies come out of this one university. Founder sessions with founders and investors showed, unfiltered, how the Valley thinks, builds and funds.
Between design studios, materials labs and the Golden Gate Bridge, there was room for what makes innovation journeys count: group conversations that turn impressions into concrete plans.
