Join us for the Fall 2026 Berkeley Innovation Forum (BIF), taking place October 12-14, 2026, at the UC Berkeley Haas School of Business. 

This 2.5-day gathering brings together corporate innovators, startup leaders, and UC Berkeley faculty expertise to discuss the newest frontiers of innovation. Hosted by the Garwood Center for Corporate Innovation, BIF is where the people shape the future of corporate innovation, exchange ideas, and build lasting partnerships.

This year, hear from Nobel Laureate Jennifer Doudna in conversation, Richard Socher of Recursive, and executives from AWS, Lilly Ventures, Dell, JPMorgan, NASA, Northrop Grumman, and Asahi. Sessions cover AI adoption, corporate-startup partnerships, defense and dual-use technology, the geopolitics of LLM development, and food innovation, with startup showcases and networking throughout. To learn more about our program, view the full agenda.
