Here in San Diego, we are fortunate to have one of the world’s leading universities right in our backyard. UC San Diego is not only a cornerstone of California’s innovation ecosystem, it is also an important partner for international collaboration.
The university has just been ranked the #4 public university in the United States in the 2025 Academic Ranking of World Universities, and #20 worldwide.
This recognition is more than prestige. It highlights UCSD’s strength in areas like AI, health tech, sustainability, and global impact. Recent breakthroughs include new medical imaging tools that use less data, energy-efficient cooling systems for data centers, genetic engineering of mosquitoes to suppress disease transmission, and social science research that improves justice systems.
For Dutch founders and innovators, this is an important signal. UCSD is more than a top university. It is a world-class research hub and a powerful partner for collaborations, spinouts, and translational research. The work happening here points directly to where deep tech and health innovation are heading.
If this is a space you are active in, or if you know someone working at the intersection of research and innovation, we would love to connect. At Quartermaster California, our role is to be the bridge between Dutch innovation and the U.S. market, and conversations like these are where new opportunities begin.
