Launch of ICM Certificate Program for 2025
We are very happy to announce the start of the ICM Certificate Program for 2025 delivered by the Tusher Strategic Initiative for Technology Leadership at UC-Berkeley in partnership with the Center for Intellectual Property. This year, over 180 students have registered from Chalmers University of Technology, Durham University, Hanken School of Economics, Helsinki University, Norwegian University for Science and Technology, University of Gothenburg, and the University of Turku. We are grateful for the university collaboration with Viktor Ström, Nigel Swycher, Volker Röben, Auri Vainio, Hilkka Honkanen, Knut J. Egelie, and Haakon Thue Lie.
The concept of “intellectual capital” was popularized by the renowned economist John Kenneth Galbraith (Harvard) and operationalized into innovation strategy by David Teece (UC-Berkeley), who is the most highly cited business scholar in the world. ICM was further developed by Ulf Petrusson, Bowman Heiden, and colleagues at Chalmers University and University of Gothenburg into an interdisciplinary master’s education for engineers, lawyers, and business students to prepare them for the leadership challenges of the 21st century knowledge economy.
The purpose of the program is to provide students across the world with a unique theoretical perspective and the interdisciplinary skills and tools necessary to create and manage strategies for innovation and entrepreneurship in the knowledge economy, in general, and the digital economy, in particular.
We welcome future collaborations with universities around the world as part of our ICM Global initiative.
