The 2024 MIT Startup Ecosystem Conference brings MIT innovation & entrepreneurship resources together to showcase MIT’s rich startup ecosystem. Along with executives from industry-leading corporations and founders, they will engage in lively discussions about breakthrough technologies, technology transfer, funding science-based startups, and startup & corporate engagement, among other topics.
The conference, organized by the MIT Startup Exchange, showcases fourteen startups affiliated with MIT startup resources across campus. They will present and exhibit their game-changing companies throughout the day. Attendees will have the chance to meet the entrepreneurs to learn more about their impactful products and technology.
Synthetic Biology Workshop 2017 - Panel Discussion
There’s been growing interest from industry for materials innovation from MIT and MIT-connected startups. Corporates are asking for materials of increased performance, reduced cost/weight, or reduced carbon footprint. This MIT Startup Webinar on Materials will feature Chris Schuh, former head of MIT’s Materials Science and Engineering Department, giving a quick overview of materials innovation at MIT and current challenges in materials research, followed by lightning talks by MIT startups in advanced materials & formulation and sustainable materials and packaging. Then we’ll have a Q&A and discussion with the MIT startups on how they can work with corporates to solve some of their materials challenges.
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 new approaches and technologies that can help them to address key business challenges/opportunities.
