Imperial has launched its US hub in San Francisco, making it the first UK university to have a permanent science and tech base on US soil.
Imperial Global USA – the university’s first physical presence in the US – is being launched this week by senior leaders from Imperial at a special event held at Intrinsic (an Alphabet company), hosted by Professor Hugh Brady, President of Imperial College London, and Imperial alum Wendy Tan White, CEO of software and AI robotics company Intrinsic.
Imperial has announced that the new hub will support new science and technology partnerships, advancing Imperial’s pursuit of Convergence Science, by making it even easier for innovators partnering on both sides of the Atlantic to fund and scale their research and create solutions to some of the hardest global challenges.
To ensure Imperial can deliver on this ambition, it is also announcing the creation of a new External Advisory Board that will be chaired by Wendy Tan White, charged with ensuring that the new hub is well connected into the rest of the San Francisco tech ecosystem from day one.
