SPRIE continues to flourish in the Stanford GSB


The Stanford Program on Regions of Innovation and Entrepreneurship (SPRIE) moved from the Freeman Spogli Institute to the Graduate School of Business in 2011.  SPRIE has been continuing to flourish there under the continuing guidance of the directors William F. Miller and and Henry Rowen.  Professor Miller was the last faculty member recruited by Fred Terman, a story for another day.  The projects (green boxes) in SPRIE are all worth a look, including  "China 2.0: The Rise of a Digital Superpower", "Smart Green Cities", "Japanese Entrepreneurship", and "The Silicon Valley Project" (this is also an organization, so it's a small blue hexagon).  The Silicon Valley Project focuses on the dynamics, transformation and sustainability of Silicon Valley, and has a dream team for an advisory board.  With this powerhouse team, SPRIE is an ecosystem to watch.
