'''The University of California, San Diego '''is a campus with a rich innovation and entrepeurial environment. Home of the Rady School of Management and Jacobs School of Engineering, students at UCSD, in both undergraduate and graduate programs, have access to a wide variety of workshops, programs, clubs, and other organizations involving innovation and entrepeurial ventures. With over 30,000 undergraduate students, many startups in technology, life sciences, and social innovation are produced by student entrepeneurs. 

~~[[Category:Universities]]~~

The Faculty within UCSD are highly involved within the Innovation ecosystem on campus, and can be found leading the programs and centers dedicated to student innovation. Given that position, many faculty innovators are strongly tied to student innovators, and the two groups communicate and collaborate to grow the ecosystem. From professors to other faculty, a large number of entrepreneurial ventures are started by faculty members with graduate student teams, teams that frequently make appearances within UCSD's many business pitch competition. At UCSD's annual Trinet Challenge, undergraduates and Professors compete and pitch on the same stage, and are judged together, sometimes with surprising results. Faculty have access to many of the centers students have access to, like the Von Leibeg Center, where they can be connected to valuable contacts, receive advising from experienced industry leaders, and involve themself in the same entrepreneurial ecosystem that students find themselves in.

The spirit of entrepreneurship within faculty and professors provides encouragment for thestudents that are involved with them via classes, advisement, or team leadership. Many faculty members that are connected with prominent faculty innovators (leaders of innovation centers, for example) attend student business pitch competitions, and provide feedback to student teams pitching their ideas. This connection between faculty and students fosters growth within the campus innovation ecosystem, as more faculty are able to direct and orient students toward entrepreneurial centers and pathways, like the Moxie center or vLC.

~~add content~~The UCSD Tech Transfer Office is the largest on-campus resource for IP law services. Open to access by students and faculty, the Tech Transfer Office is frequently referred to by entrepreneurial organizations on campus for assistance in IP protection for student or faculty innovators. Over 180 startup companies have been formed in the region with UCSD TTO-licenced technologies, founded by graduates, faculty, and, occasionally, undergraduates. The Tech Transfer Office has over 30 members of technology transfer staff, and offers patent writing, patent searching, and educational services. The Office also has involvment with a number of organizations in the region, including the largest startup incubator in the region, and several law offices.

= Regional/Local Economic Development Efforts =

~~add content~~UCSD's numerous programs, within entrepreneurship, innovation, engineering, and business, all share significant ties to regional industries and companies. In many cases, faculty members involved with running certain programs are also members of outside organizations and companies, and contribute their experience within industry to assist on-campus innovation. Major innovation centers on campus, like the vLC or Moxie Center, have official advisors from outside companies, furthering the connection local companies have with innovative stuents on campus. These connections foster communication, and provide advantages to both students and local companies-- the companies talent search on campus, and talented students benefit from the attention from potential employers. UCSD's strong STEM culture and highly recognized entrepreneurial community make it a hub of attention, from established companies and startups alike.
