Permanent Carbon Removal, Grid Services and Clean Water Josh Santos, Co-Founder & CEO, Noya Noya: https://www.noya.co/
Noya is working to deliver the high-quality, permanent, carbon removal that the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has identified as necessary in order to limit global warming below 1.5℃. The company’s proprietary direct air capture (DAC) system produces a significant amount of clean water (6 million m3 per year per full-scale facility) and unlocks grid services in addition to high-quality carbon removal credits. The team enjoys strong support from pioneering carbon removal buyers, including Shopify, Watershed, and one of the largest university endowments, as well as leading investors including USV, Collab Fund, EQT, and DNX Ventures.
Seeled Air is looking for solutions and technologies in rigid and flexible packaging. Solutions should be scalable and applicable in a commercial setting.
MIT Startup Exchange is looking for 10 startups to present and exhibit at the MIT Japan Conference in Tokyo on Tuesday, January 23, 2024.
Computing – from hardware and software to algorithms and AI – is the intellectual backbone supporting advancement across science and technology fields, molding society in profound ways. With skyrocketing demand for computer science education, as well as the pressing need for concrete, sustainable, and responsible solutions across technological domains, the MIT Schwarzman College of Computing invests in new artificial intelligence, data science, and computer science research. The 2022 MIT Efficient AI and Computing Technologies Conference will showcase the most recent developments and tangible impacts of computing technologies in AI hardware and software for improved efficiency and explainability, as well as their applications in diverse technological areas. Presented by the MIT Schwarzman College of Computing and the MIT Industrial Liaison Program, you will hear insights from MIT faculty, MIT Startup Exchange entrepreneurs, and industry executives from presentations, lightning talks, exhibitions, and a panel discussion.
At our annual MIT Startup Ecosystem Conference, we celebrate innovation and bring together its many contributors: entrepreneurs, corporates, and university researchers, as well as government representatives, investors, and those involved with incubators and accelerators. We will assemble to discuss creating, supporting, and scaling new ventures and how to increase productivity and competitive advantage. Aligned with the emphasis of MIT Startup Exchange, we will focus on the startup-corporate relationship. Topics will include pain points, valleys of death, and strategies to avoid as well as how to overcome the stones found along the way.
As always, this event features executives from some of the most promising startups connected to MIT who will present lightning talks in two fast-paced sessions, each followed by an opportunity to have direct discussions.
Many consider this conference a must-attend for innovators and executives at industry-leading corporations, especially those working in innovation, emerging technology, corporate venture capital, and/or corporate development/strategy.
This year’s theme will be built around ensuring the durability of the energy transition in the face of future unknowns.
