Berkeley Innovation Forum in India
Rebuilding India Series
August 5 – 7, 2020 (Online) – (6:30 – 9:30 pm ISD / 6 am – 9 am PSD)
In Partnership with the All India Management Association
Objective of the Semi-annual Berkeley Innovation Forum:
To restore and enhance economic and business expansion post-Covid-19 in India through collaborative solutions driven by engagement with a) corporate CEOs, b) UC Berkeley faculty, and c) government officials to accelerate market growth. This will be a private event – the Chatham House Rule applies, so press and social media are prohibited. Participating corporate CEOs will present a brief outline of their collaborative strategy for each of the three proposed initiatives and will appoint a nodal officer to develop a roadmap in partnership with UC Berkeley.
