Singularity University (SU), is an organisation based at the NASA Research Park in the heart of Silicon Valley,
California. The University is a central destination for scientists, researchers, entrepreneurs, executives and government officials. SU’s mission is to educate, inspire and empower bright minds to apply exponential technologies to address humanity’s grand challenges.
The University’s flagship program is the Graduate Studies Program (GSP) that acts as a platform for turning innovative ideas into concrete actions. Those who meet the tough entrance requirements will take part in an extremely intensive training, which includes demanding courses, trips to the biggest enterprises in Silicon Valley – e.g. Facebook, NASA, Google, Cisco – and visits to the most exciting startups in the area. During the course, students work sidebyside with the biggest names of the Valley. By the end of the 10week program projects developed during the course frequently become real businesses, and enter SU Labs, the University’s own business incubator.
