One World Showcase Event @ UC Berkeley
Overview
November, 2023
Berkeley, CA
In 2023, we hosted the One World Robotics Showcase, a 6-figure premier international platform for teams to demonstrate innovative robotics solutions and forge global networks. The event features an engaging expo with transformative exhibits—including highlights from Berkeley Formula Racing and Space Technologies at Cal—that bring cutting-edge STEM initiatives to life.
Supported by strategic partnerships with over 25 leading academic and industry groups, including OMRON Robotics (led by Director Mut Ferman), the showcase also features distinguished speakers. This year, current Chancellor and former Haas Dean Rich Lyons, delivered an inspiring opening address that set the tone for a day of dynamic collaboration and visionary exploration in STEM.

The event was not only a chance for the students to showcase their robotics skills, but also a unique opportunity to explore the world-class education and innovation at UC Berkeley. They interacted with leading Technology Companies like OMRON Robotics, Blue Origin, PayPal, and more, as well as Government agencies like the USPTO and the Marine Corps EOD Mission. They also learned from Berkeley’s Student Organizations such as the Berkeley Formula Racing, Space Technologies at Cal, Society of Women Engineers, and others. Moreover, they got to know more about the prestigious MET program and the College of Engineering at UC Berkeley directly from students and administrators.
The students were amazed and inspired by the exposure to the diverse and cutting-edge fields of engineering and robotics at One World, thanks to the incredible companies, campus groups, and student organizations who participated in the One World EXPO.
