2024 #GameChangers Awards
The Hertz Foundation was a proud sponsor of the 2024 #GameGhangers Awards, taking place May 9, 2024, at Goal Line Studios in Pleasanton, CA.
The 2024 #GameChangers Awards, hosted by the Innovation Tri-Valley Leadership Group (ITV), spotlights the biggest disruptors, founders, funders, mentors, entrepreneurs, influencers, and civic leaders in the Tri-Valley region of the San Francisco Bay Area. Past honorees include 10x Genomics, Zeiss, Lam Research, Tekion, Topcon, Unchained Labs, and Vagaro — a true “who’s who” of the Tri-Valley innovation ecosystem.
The Hertz Foundation had several representatives in attendance, including Hertz Fellows Megan Blewett and Rod Bayliss, and staff members Andye Daley, John Ohab, and Karla Rodebush.
ITV aims to connect the dots between public and private partnerships and works to nurture the ideas from academia and research institutions to industry, policy, and people to enable progress.
The Hertz Foundation and ITV recently announced a new partnership aimed at cultivating and connecting world-class talent in the Tri-Valley region of the Bay Area. Through special networking events and media coverage, this expanded partnership will spotlight how the Hertz Foundation has contributed to the Tri-Valley region and will help catalyze collaborations with ITV’s network of over 100 companies, non-profits, research labs, educational institutions and regional thought leaders.
