Events

We recognize that the systemic challenges we face today can only be solved through the collaboration of multiple disciplines and ecosystem players. That is why a significant portion of our work is dedicated to building a collaborative network both inside and outside of Stanford University. 

Impact Entrepreneurship Summit

The Annual Stanford Emergence Impact Entrepreneurship Summit brings together the Emergence cross-sector ecosystem of collaborators from Stanford, Industry, Government, Venture Capital, Family Office, and Philanthropy to celebrate and showcase research, founders, initiatives and examples of impactful innovation.

Stanford Thought Leadership Workshops

Addressing systemic challenges requires a fresh approach to entrepreneurship and venture creation. We have a significant opportunity at Stanford to develop new educational content, seed innovative research, and incubate emerging ideas to accelerate the translation of research to impact. Stanford Emergence Thought Leadership Workshops bring together groups at Stanford that share this vision and are addressing the problem from different perspectives to build on synergies, identify needs, and foster learning and collaboration.

Impact Networks

We create collaborative networks within our ecosystem that empower next-generation impact entrepreneurs emerging from Stanford University and foster relationships to drive meaningful impact. To-date our curated networks include: the Stanford Community Network, Founder Network, Industry Mentor Network, Funding Network, and Next Generation Innovator Network. Together, these networks make up our supportive ecosystem, nurturing innovation and driving positive change.
