About Us
Silicon Valley comes to the UK (SVC2UK) is an annual programme welcomes pioneers of the most disruptive consumer internet and green technologies to the UK.
The entrepreneurs will meet their UK and European counterparts to look at collaborating on business ventures. They will lead classes at the University examining cutting-edge technologies and business models, and they will meet with policymakers to look at how to expand the UK's innovation capacity.
The SVC2UK is supported by a number of businesses and has grown into an eagerly anticipated event, with thousands of students and entrepreneurs benefiting from the collective expertise of the group.
The programme is organised by Co-Chairs Sherry Coutu and Reid Hoffman, the Executive Committee and Partnering Organisations.
