Representatives of the Silesian University of Technology in Silicon Valley
Scientists from the Silesian University of Technology will take part in the “Top 1000 Innovators of Poland in Silicon Valley” – an event during which over 200 outstanding researchers from 12 Polish universities will present over 100 breakthrough projects in the most important Silicon Valley research centres. The event will take place from the 9th to 12th December.
“Top 1000 Innovators of Poland in Silicon Valley” will be the largest Polish scientific and technical delegation in the history of Silicon Valley. The event is addressed to both scientists and entrepreneurs, who will be able to familiarize themselves with the most interesting projects from Poland, and the authors of innovative solutions will create opportunities for their commercialization.
The meetings, which will take place at Stanford University, the University of Berkeley, and the TripleRing Technologies Innovation Centre, will also provide a unique opportunity to establish research partnerships.
The Top 1000 Innovators of Poland in Silicon Valley is focused around eight key sectors:
- Space engineering
- Biomedical Engineering and Healthcare
- Information technology and artificial intelligence
- Energy and Environmental Engineering
- Chip technology and data centres
- Material and mechanical engineering
- Civil Engineering
- Humanities and Social Sciences
