Christine Gulbranson, chief innovation officer of University of California, outlines the changes her institution has enacted to support the innovation ecosystem.

After two and a half years in the job, I am still in love with what University of California (UC) entrepreneurs are doing, I am still amazed by the people in UC’s ecosystem, and I am still convinced that we at UC have a long way to go in developing university innovation. I am proud to say that we are leading global university efforts in innovation and are well recognised around the world for changing the concept of university innovation.
