Since decades, the Silicon Valley is globally famous for its innovative startups and innovative work environment. This is why the group of students from the Lucerne University of Applied Sciences and Arts spent six weeks in San Jose, exploring the peculiarities, which make this place the most important tech-hub worldwide.

During the stay, the students got also lot of firsthand experiences from different speakers who have worked and lived in this environment for years. Further, the lectures covered the scientific aspects behind entrepreneurship.

The following excursions gave the students an even deeper insight into the Valley:

• Computer History Museum
• Google Bay View Campus

• Stampli
• Action Spot (also the home base during the stay)
