Module IV
Module IV connects theory and practice through seminars in San Francisco and Silicon Valley. Here, we studied how innovation is organized, financed, and scaled within the world’s most dynamic innovation ecosystem—and how these insights complement the theories explored in Modules I–III.

Module VI and V in
San Francisco
Modules IV and V move the program from theory to practice through seminars in San Francisco and Silicon Valley. Here, we met entrepreneurs, investors, and researchers working at the heart of the global innovation ecosystem—and gained insights into how ideas are actually developed, tested, and scaled.
