This session provides an overview of the Startup Exchange program, and how startups can engage. It is intended for MIT-connected startups that are new to the program as well as others that might have registered a while ago and pivoted or achieved significant milestones.
MIT Startup Exchange is convening a new installment of Demo Day on Wednesday, December 10 (12 PM – 1:15 PM ET). The event will feature several exciting industry-ready startups in brief lightning talks and Q&A. Breakout rooms will follow at the end of the event.
This event is for ILP members.
The 2025 MIT Japan Conference will explore future research trends at MIT, highlighting breakthroughs in key areas such as Soft Materials and Mechanics, Biomedical Innovation, and the impact of Generative AI (GAI) on the Work of the Future. Additional sessions will focus on Quantum and Silicon Photonics, Nanotechnology in materials and additive manufacturing, and the latest Machine Learning and AI tools for chemical discovery. Advances in semiconductor technology, hydrogen innovation, and electrochemistry, as well as thermofluidic interfaces, will also be featured.
