USC Venture & Innovation Summit

​USC's Office of Research and Innovation invites you to the USC Venture & Innovation Summit, a high-momentum gathering that brings together founders, investors, researchers, and ecosystem leaders shaping the future of innovation across Los Angeles and Southern California.

​This one-day event features a series of fast-moving, insight-rich conversations on the forces driving our region forward—from the realities of academic innovation and spinning out deep-tech ventures, to the evolving healthcare investment landscape, LA’s unique entrepreneurial strengths, and the infrastructure required to build a world-class innovation ecosystem. We’ll also explore the emerging technologies poised to define the next decade.

​You’ll hear directly from leaders representing universities, venture firms, accelerators, corporate innovation teams, government partners, healthcare investors, and fast-growing sectors like AI, climate tech, and space. 

​Whether you’re building a company, funding one, or strengthening the platforms that make innovation possible, the Summit is designed to spark new connections, surface real opportunities, and bring the region’s innovation community together to accelerate collective momentum.
