In March 2012, Campus London was first launched in
East London, followed by Campus
Tel Aviv later in December 2012. The first Asian Campus was opened in
Seoul,
South Korea in 2015. The first South American Campus was subsequently launched in 2016 in
Sāo Paulo,
Brazil. Events held in the various Campuses differ by location, including the language used in these events. Entrepreneurs or companies can apply to host these events, and they include workshops and conferences on tech topics such as
blockchain,
Internet of Things,
fintech,
machine learning, and
cloud computing as well as other important practical skills for entrepreneurs such as
digital marketing,
product management, and
intellectual rights. Other events include
hackathons as well as startup residency programs for entrepreneurs and even free yoga and
mindfulness sessions for entrepreneurs. From time to time, Google employees are deployed to conduct workshops (such as sales training, technical discussions, pioneering philosophical thought experiments) as well as conferences with Google-related products and platforms such as the
Google Cloud Platform. In October 2018, Google for Entrepreneurs was renamed as Google for Startups. During the coronavirus pandemic, Google has decided not to reopen its East London campus likely due to the shift of working from home in June 2021. ==Locations==
