Stanford ATI Shanghai 2004

The culmination of the entire ATI program is a widely-publicized international conference scheduled at the end of August for high-profile entrepreneurs, VCs, and government officials from both the Silicon Valley and Shanghai.This conference seeks to showcase: (1) technological development and its impact economic growth in China; (2) the synergy of education and entrepreneurial endeavors; (3) corporate collaboration and exchange across the Pacific Rim.

In its five years of operation, ATI has launched successful global entrepreneurship programs in Shanghai, Tokyo, Bangalore and Hong Kong - in 2003-2004, ATI will launch its fifth site, Singapore, which will stand alongside Bangalore and Shanghai as ATI's third site this year. Through its unique summer internship program for Stanford students, ATI has generated incredible interest and excitement both in Silicon Valley and in Asia. In addition to participating in overseas hi-tech internships, the students engage in preparatory entrepreneurship seminars at Stanford and coordinate culminating summer global entrepreneurshipconferences at their respective sites. Ultimately, these entrepreneurial programs have the goal of building long-term ties between Stanford University and Asian academia and industry. Over the years, ATI has secured a formidable list of advisors that include Stanford's administrative leadership, renowned Silicon Valley entrepreneurs and industry luminaries in Asia. Sponsors of ATI have included the Hewlett Flora Family Foundation and Stanford University, as well as numerous companies.

In 2003-2004, ATI will continue its highly successful overseas programs as well as focus on bringing the global entrepreneurial community closer to Stanford through on-campus events.

SUMMER PROJECT

In 2004, 4 students will be selected from Stanford to participate in an all-expense-paid internship program with 6 Shanghai students, from the two best universities in Shanghai, i.e., Fudan and Jiaotong. They will be our ATI fellows for 2004. The 10 students will form 5 teams comprised of one Stanford student and one Shanghai student. We encourage each team to take initiative on forming real-world technical or business solutions, negotiate with interested companies, and develop those ideas with the support from the host companies. Although the fellows will be interns to the host company officially, functionally they will operate as an autonomous group, responsible for the success of the project. Each team must deliver their project solution to their respective company by the end of the summer.
