The Pioneering Spirit
When it comes to innovation, there is a special kind of magic in Silicon Valley. The constant buzz of new ideas. Effective funding of pathfinding innovations. Start-ups in many markets. The birth of entirely new industries. While it may appear that it’s all about creative new ideas, the success of Silicon Valley actually comes from a highly-disciplined approach for taking ideas through a series of iterations all the way to market-changing implementation.
Over the past three decades EDG has collaborated with many of the players that make up the Valley’s remarkable innovation ecosystem. EDG’s Silicon Valley Innovation Immersion program was established to open this remarkable world to anyone who wants to learn from those who create it every day.
Silicon Valley Innovation Tours + Creating Your Roadmap to the Future
EDG’s Silicon Valley Innovation Immersion is typically a week-long program. It combines hands-on innovation skill building with site visits and conversations with visionaries who share their approaches and outlooks. The three pillars of the program can be customized to maximize relevance and impact:
The innovation methods used by Silicon Valley enterprises and entrepreneurs
The technologies and business models that are driving disruption
The venturing potential of the Valley’s ecosystem
Each individual or team will create a unique Innovation Blueprint that captures their insights and plans for moving forward. Learn more…
