What it means to collaborate with Stanford Engineering

Collaboration and a spirit of innovation are deeply woven into our culture. Technology transfer is core to our mission. It’s one way we make a difference. And it makes us different, too.

Stanford and Silicon Valley grew up together, one influencing and shaping the other. The same close relationships with our partners continue here today —nurturing a collaborative community, the free flow of information, and an environment organized for research and transformative innovation.

Our people, our entrepreneurial tradition, and our relationships with industry, government, and our own schools of medicine, business, and the sciences, make us uniquely qualified to support the broad interests of our affiliates.
