This year's event 

Now in its eleventh year, Silicon Valley Comes to Oxford bridges two world centres of ideas to explore the big issues and future directions of innovation and entrepreneurial phenomena in a vibrant and fast paced mix of masterclasses, tutorials, panel debates and networking events. The leading European entrepreneurship forum, pioneered by the University of Oxford’s Saïd Business School, brings business leaders and luminaries from across Silicon Valley to Oxford for a period of focused interaction with faculty, research and student members of Oxford University and the British entrepreneurial ecosystem.

The theme of this year’s event is “Unlocking Growth” and will explore how companies create value by changing the rules of the game, the challenges of getting to scale, and what governments can do to help unlock growth.

Silicon Valley comes to Oxford 2011 will once again have a brilliant line up of visiting VIPs from the Valley drawn from the areas of start-up, venture capital, academic study of entrepreneurship, clean energy technology, serial entrepreneurship. The overlap of these technologies and trends provides the opportunity to fully explore future directions.
