The MIT Industrial Liaison Program is organizing a new edition of MIT's Sustainability Conference that will feature Startup Lightning Talks! The Startup Exchange team is looking for 10 Startups to present on September 26. Selected startups will present on stage and participate in the lunch exhibit.
About the Conference - Frontiers of Sustainability
Sustainability is a broad and popular topic. Renewable energy; energy transition; recycling and the circular economy; climate and environment; water and food – these topics are quickly maturing into fields of their own. But what is next for sustainability? What lies beyond what we now consider sustainable technologies and business practices, and how will they affect your industry? What does emerging government policy suggest will be the hot sustainability topics of the future? Join MIT faculty, researchers, and startups as we review core topics like energy and climate, but also explore new ones, like digital sustainability, sustainability for the built environment, and how we teach sustainability – both to the workforce of the present and the workforce of the future.
Audience: representatives from ILP corporate members
Focus Areas
