EMBA UZH with focus on Digital Transformation landed in Silicon Valley!

From June 3–6 2025, our EMBA participants were immersed in one of the world’s most innovative ecosystems. Hosted by Prof. Dr. Tamara Carleton at Stanford University, with excursions to San Francisco and the bay area, this Learning Expedition was an intensive week of foresight, bold thinking, and hands-on discovery.

With “Building Moonshots” as a red thread and themes ranging from radical innovation and AI to venture capital and global innovation networks, this experience helps shape the next generation of digital leaders.




From deep dives into AI, venture capital, and innovation ecosystems at Stanford University, to site visits at Swisscom ,Alphabet X, The Moonshot Factory, Plug and Play Tech Center, Otherlab, Salesforce and Swissnex in San Francisco — our participants have had the rare opportunity to meet bold thinkers shaping the future of technology, society, and business.
