Garwood Innovation Fellows

This year, the Garwood Center successfully launched the first Garwood Innovation Fellows, a Distinguished Executive- In-Residence Program, at the birthplace of Open Innovation. Fellows diversely range from international executives who want to expand their network within Silicon Valley to industry experts seeking new opportunities in Open Innovation to government officers who lead innovation policy. The Garwood Innovation Fellows worked with leading faculty to learn about rising trends within Open Innovation. The Executives-In-Residence also networked with an affinity group, peers, and MBA students on applied projects and sought out Open Innovation opportunities within their own ventures.  For more information about the Garwood Innovation Fellows, view their profiles, here:
