Collaborations and Partnerships

The Lester Center regularly cosponsors events focused on entrepreneurial topics with other organizations, both on campus and in the Bay Area business community. Its ties with Lawrence Berkeley and Lawrence Livermore National Laboratories, the College of Engineering and with the Berkeley Center for Executive Development have provided opportunities for a variety of successful collaborations. The Lester Center actively collaborates on programs and activities with the new Center for Entrepreneurship and Technology in the College of Engineering.

There are many outstanding annual events organized by the Haas students of which the Lester Center is proud to be cosponsors; such as the Women in Leadership Conference, Leading Edge Conference, and the Berkeley Asia Business Conference.

The Lester Center coordinates with other centers and programs at the Haas School to extend the opportunities available to students interested in entrepreneurial careers.

The Lester Center collaborates with institutions and companies throughout the United States to concoct nationally acclaimed programs that augment the domain of entrepreneurship at UC Berkeley.
