The first two academic partners are Beijing's Tsinghua University and the University of Washington, with early support from Microsoft. The GIX mission is to develop leaders in innovation, cross boundaries, and solve the world’s greatest problems. GIX is enrolling students in the Master Science in Technology and Innovation for Connected Devices, scheduled to launch this September in the Spring District in Bellevue.
