== Facilitating University research and innovation is the pinnacle of change and development that is constantly occuring on campus. These developments are doing more than just reaching the sphere of of the university-industry collaboration ==itself: it connects students and professors with businesses and industries outside of campus, opening up the sphere of change and opportunities to a wider network of people. Research and innovation are currently a huge benefit for businesses and industries all throughout the nations. As technology expands and new research emerges, universities are forced to keep up with current trends and therefore, are constantly searching for opportunities in which they are able to connect new emerging concepts and ideas with their own research as well as student education. In order to accomplish this, universities are starting to open up new spaces for students as well as new startups and are trying to make their faculty more reachable and accessible. They also have implemented different programs in order to partner with students and different companies in order to offer students internships and other opportunities to expand their learning while staying in touch with university research.
''Businesses The University of California, Berkeley is a prime example of a university that has been facilitating university-industry collaboration through their programs and industry benefit greatly from facilities made available to students. The university research has created a multitude of spaces for students and innovationother aspiring startups to utilize including technology, industrial park, manufacturing, and wet lab space. Universities are constantly One such example of a program on campus is the QB3 incubator network, which offers up 2 incubator spaces for biotech startup companies looking to jumpstart their new technologies by laying down the groundwork for ways their upcoming companies. The university also has opportunities for students to connect their research with alumni and students’ education faculty in order to emerging industry interestspromote entrepreneurship and innovation throughout the campus. In recent yearsOne example of this the Berkeley Angel network, universities have put greater emphasis on supporting which connects students with alumni and former faculty in order to acquire angel investors for student startup companiesideas. This is an incredible way to create a community of people aspiring to be entrepreneurs in their communities as well as creating a network for them to assist them in their journey. Lastly, the university also offers many mentoring, while continuing advisory or business networks for their students to engage established companies create a supportive environment that have traditionally been fosters the growth of their licensing partnersstudents. To facilitate greater collaboration One program is VC connect which involves students, network entrepreneurs, and the VC/angel investor community. This VC connect program connects student innovations with Bay Area VCs in order to establish and form connections between students and innovationinvestor communities. Another such community that provides a business network on campus is Computer Science Graduate Entrepreneurs. This group is focused on creating a space for graduate students, universities are opening up their facilitiesalumni, and faculty, of the Computer Science department to connect with one another and share ideas and common interests and students therefore work together towards a common goal. The goal of this group is to businesses (small create influential startups and large) in companies with the hopes aid of creating greater economic valuefellow graduates. Universities are strategically partnering with companiesThey accomplish this by communication of goals, offering internships and externshipstransferring of information about ideas, sharing facilities with startups, such as acceleratorsexperiences, and creating venture funds and incentive programs funded by industryconnections with each new generation of people that are accepted into this group. Lastly, all another program that provides advisory opportunities for students is the Haas Venture Fellows. This group aims to connect students with a wide alumni network within the Haas school of which drive increased business that has contacts in the entrepreneurial world that would help students establish themselves after graduating from the university. It also provides an opportunity for students to learn hands-on what being a Venture Capitalist entitles and the responsibilities that come with it. It also gives VCs a way to keep in touch with the innovation and product development new ideas that are constantly being put-forth by the creative students that come from the university students, faculty, and staff.''
The "Spin Out" section of your Landscape Canvas relates to Because the University is hands-on with student learning in innovation and research centersby creating multiple programs for students, faculty, and alumni, industrial parks we have concluded that it does its part to facilitate university and industry/mentor networks and will give you a sense of whether the University is "Facilitating University-Industry Collaborationinnovation."
''Historically, Various programs on campus are participating in regional and local economic development has been an important mission efforts to grow the culture of the nation’s large universitiesentrepreneurship and innovation on campus.

== Promoting student innovation and entrepreneurship ==
UC Berkeley is ranked as the "#2 university worldwide for producing venture-backed entrepreneurs" (Skydeck). This is possible because of the campus's commitment to bringing diverse students together in the classroom and spaces of collaboration, creating their own curriculum for entrepreneurship & tech through the Saturdja Center, and funding student ideas into scaleable businesses.
== Encouraging Faculty Innovation and Entrepreneurship ==
Faculty innovation and entrepreneurship is seen both inside and outside the classroom. The faculty in the College of Letters & Science (L&S) collaborated with the Berkeley-Haas Entrepreneurship Program to guide students to turn their ideas into scaleable ventures. This is seen through interactive courses like the L&S 5 and L&S 105, where entrepreneurs share their experiences on what it means to be an "entrepreneur". By connecting humanities with business, students and faculty from non-traditional entrepreneurial backgrounds are gaining the opportunity to understand what it means to start a venture.
Outside of the classroom, the campus partners with various industries to ideate, inspire and invent new forms of technologies. For example, Berkeley launched RISElab (Real-time Intelligence with Secure Execution), sponsored by IBM, Intel, GE Digital, and more, to bring together faculty and students to explore and innovate Big Data analytics. The Berkeley Institute for Data Science (BIDS) fosters collaboration between the computer science, statistics and applied math departments between faculty and students to lead the data science revolution. Both RISElab and BIDS are just two of the many industry alliance programs that connect faculty, students and companies to cultivate faculty innovation and entrepreneurship.
== Actively supporting the university technology transfer function ==
== Engaging with regional and local economic development efforts ==
Outside of network and mentorship, Berkeley provides numerous opportunities for seed funding including the Berkeley-Haas Dean's Startup Seed Fund and the House fund. The "Spin Out" section of your Landscape Canvas House Fund was started by a Berkeley student because he realized that there are limited programs on campus that invest in student discoveries. Not only do they provide initial funding, but they also reveals the extent provide a collaborative environment for student-entrepreneurs to which the University is engaging work with regional and local economic development effortstheir teams. Many campuses also have an economic development office and staff whose responsibility it From networking to seed funding, UC Berkeley is to leverage transforming the University's research and development for positive local economic benefitway students develop their startups into successful ventures.
