^{2019 MIT Startup Exchange Workshop: Sustainable Materials Innovation}

^{December 3, 2019}

^{MIT Startup Exchange presents its December Startup Workshop, centered around sustainable materials innovation. MIT Startup Exchange works to help create partnerships between over 1,800 MIT-connected startups and industry, represented by MIT Industrial Liaison Program (ILP) members. Today, there is a large and growing societal interest for greater sustainability in the material systems that provide for a modern life style. The call is across all industry sectors, and includes the entire value chain including raw materials, material processing, material uses, and end-of-cycle treatment/reuse. This represents a challenge and an opportunity for companies, and many MIT startups are developing and providing innovative technology and business model solutions. This workshop will present perspectives from industry leaders, academics, and corporate investors, while showcasing several MIT-connected startups in this field.}

The Dubai Police will be offering an invitation-only Q&A session for startups to learn more about their collaboration opportunities with MIT-connected startups and to explore potential partnership avenues and resources. 

This year’s theme will be built around ensuring the durability of the energy transition in the face of future unknowns.

How can P&G enable consumers to do radically more with radically less water and energy use? How can we make invisible use of water & energy visible, right at the point of use? How might we particularly address the triangle of tension that exists between improving sanitization, reducing water & energy, whilst keeping the feeling of abundance of using water?. From incremental evolution to product innovation, easy-retrofit water-infrastructure changes (taps, faucets, showerheads, etc.) and water appliances that aim at both reducing (hot) water and re-using/purifying/enriching (hot) water, we want to partner!

P&G is looking for startups to build new, cost-effective, data-based pipelines to reach the store owners and expand P&G exposure to them, and therefore P&G’s sales and assortment.
