Stanford Technology Ventures Program (STVP)

The Stanford Technology Ventures Program (STVP) is the entrepreneurship center in the Stanford School of Engineering. We empower aspiring entrepreneurs to become global citizens who create and scale responsible innovations. Imagine a future where every entrepreneur sees themself as a global citizen who acts in the interest of others. A future where responsible innovation practices are standard operating procedure. A future where entrepreneurs scale solutions that elevate joy, health, and prosperity for all. As humanity grapples with dilemmas of extraordinary complexity and global scale, STVP, housed in Stanford University’s Department of Management Science & Engineering, is leading a movement to educate leaders who will solve the major challenges of the 21st century. STVP delivers transformational experiences that equip aspiring entrepreneurs — from all disciplines and areas of the world — with the ability to solve problems by harnessing engineering principles, ethical decision-making, and emerging technologies. Our vision anchors on three strategic action areas: *Advance ground-breaking research on technology entrepreneurship and innovation. *Create and deliver teaching and learning approaches that develop entrepreneurs as global citizens. *Scale responsible innovation practices with stakeholders in communities around the world.
