Corporate Innovation & Leadership Affiliate Program

“We need to be more entrepreneurial, working with greater urgency, sharper focus, and more hunger than we’ve shown on sunnier days.”

Sundar Pichai, CEO, Google, in a memo to employees

The Corporate Innovation & Leadership Affiliate Program supports collaboration between STVP, the Stanford Engineering Entrepreneurship Center and industry members shared interest in entrepreneurship education and research. The program will engage members in ongoing discussions around STVP’s ground-breaking research on technology ventures and innovation, and our teaching and learning approaches that develop corporate leaders and intrapreneurs as global citizens. Our program is designed to support leaders who believe that an entrepreneurial mindset can open doors to creativity and innovative thinking, that builds on the unique strengths of each organization and workforce. In addition, affiliate members will participate in workshops, seminars, and other STVP events along side Stanford faculty, students, and alumni connected to STVP. The STVP affiliate program provides a mechanism for Stanford faculty and companies to discuss and explore industry-relevant research topics in a pre-competitive environment. In this program, corporate members are exposed to new ideas and research directions identified by Stanford faculty and students. Prospective STVP Corporate Innovation & Leadership Affiliate Program members are encouraged to review the Stanford University Policies Affecting Industrial Affiliates Program Memberships.
