Silicon Valley Connect creates programs, services and initiatives meant to build bridges between Silicon Valley and the rest of the world. The "bridging" is not only across geographies, but also across (business) cultures and topical areas. For most of the issues, while wide-ranging in nature, there is a particular emphasis on issues where technology is or could be a key driver. The common characteristic of all engagements is the recognition that: - relationships built on substantive interactions are extraordinarily valuable,
- bringing together people pursuing similar interests and questions, but from very different backgrounds and perspective can yield uniquely valuable results, and
- a global perspective will not only provide a distinct advantage but will be essential for those championing technology, innovation and entrepreneurship.
