MIT Startup Exchange presents its September Startup Workshop, centered around sustainable materials innovation. 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.
In this computationally-assisted materials webinar, Attendees will gain insights into advanced algorithms, data-driven approaches, and the future of automated material synthesis. From optimizing material properties to scaling innovation, this session will showcase the practical benefits of computational research.

Braskem is a $15B global plastic manufacturer in Brazil. They are looking to manufacture Plastic/composite ties that will outlast wood, ideally using recycled material. They currently have this capability but are looking for product advantage/benefits around: rail/wheel interaction; ballast’s maintenance consumption; Life Cycle cost of the tie; Environment requisitions; and pavement’s levels design.
P&G is looking for solutions in material testing & visual analysis.
