About UsIn the late 1990's, a number of organizations inspired by CONNECT in San Diego were founded in Northern Europe, in particular Connect Scotland and CONNECT Sweden. At the same time, groups from around the world were beating a path to CONNECT's door, drawn by press reports of San Diego's transformation from a sleepy Navy town into a high-tech center. In addition, a number of people at UCSD, notably Associate Vice Chancellor Mary Walshok, a co-founder of CONNECT in 1985, had a strong interest in regional innovation systems worldwide. These influences and interests came together in the founding of Global CONNECT in 2003. Global CONNECT seeks to work with regions around the world to understand and further develop their innovation systems. We believe that linking these regions through the Global CONNECT membership network serves the interests of all regions, including San Diego.
