We connect innovative people and ideas across borders
TNCC is a cross-border AI & Innovation program connecting German innovation drivers with experts and ecosystems in Germany and Silicon Valley.
Program Value
The TNCC program offers hands-on experience with Silicon Valley’s entrepreneurial mindset and networks, combined with practical workshops to explore innovation research, AI trends, and collaborate on shared challenges.
How TNCC works:
- TNCC explores the cultural foundations of successful innovation, organizational approaches to future planning and uncertainty, the role of innovation ecosystems in bridging research and practice, and how entrepreneurial mindsets combine with international collaboration to drive innovation.
- Participants will take part in AI & Innovation focused workshops in Germany, online peer learning labs, and a multi-day Silicon Valley symposium featuring in-depth learning from professors and company visits.
- The 4-day immersive education program hosted in Palo Alto allows participants to engage with cutting-edge research on strategic foresight, AI in organizations, and human-centered transformation while experiencing the unique innovation ecosystem firsthand.

TNCC 2024–2025 by the numbers
“I believe that innovation, especially for us in such a global world, can only arise through collaboration.“
“We are so diverse in our backgrounds, and then to come together in this exchange and experience things and always exchange again, that was very special.”
“The stay in the USA and also the workshops with super speakers and concepts beforehand have helped me enormously to push the topic of AI innovation internally.”
“The greatest added value with such networking events, also with the program, has been the network. The time that one could spend together was the qualitatively most valuable time.”
“The collaboration and the interfaces between companies, universities, and students - what a win emerges from that in the end.”
