Berkeley City Council members Tour CITRIS and the Banatao Institute at UC Berkeley

Berkeley Mayor Jesse Arreguin and City Councilmembers Kate Harrison (District 4), Sophie Hahn (District 5), and Rigel Robinson (District 7) toured the CITRIS Invention Lab and CITRIS Tech Museum on Tuesday afternoon. They learned about the ways the Institute is advancing information technology in the interest of society through its new Policy Lab, helping create an equal playing field for women in tech through WITI@UC, and has supported 48 "deep tech" startups through the CITRIS Foundry. This was the first stop on the Innovation Assets tours that the Berkeley Startup Cluster will be organizing for Berkeley City Council this year.
