Exploring opportunities in healthcare and related applications by leveraging cutting edge technologies
The MIT Bangkok Symposium is the first regional conference in Thailand organized by the MIT Industrial Liaison Program (ILP), in cooperation with Bangkok Bank, Ltd. The symposium will bring together industry, academic, and investment leaders from the Healthcare and BioTech ecosystem at MIT and across Southeast Asia to Bangkok, Thailand. Attendees will benefit from distinguished speakers and panelists, including industry luminaries, pioneers, investors, and world-class researchers, with whom they can interact during networking sessions. HealthTech and BioTech entrepreneurs from the MIT Startup Exchange will exhibit their transformative solutions in the Symposium and be open to discuss potential collaboration with attendees.
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.
