This one-day event will bring together industry leaders, thought leaders, innovators and disruptors around the topic of Sustainability. We will explore sustainability and its business implications across industries from the perspective of senior corporate leaders, startup founders, investors and world class MIT faculty via keynotes, panel discussion, lightning talks and startup exhibits. Topic should appeal to a broad cross section of senior executives regardless of industry.
How should corporates set and reach their sustainability goals? What work are industry leaders doing today to decarbonize their operations, and what themes are emerging? How should we think about sustainability partnerships with competitors, government, investors and startups? Where are investors putting their capital? What problems can startups solve for corporates, and what do effective startup-corporate partnerships look like? These are just some of the questions we will address.
Join us to be part of the conversation, and to be part of the solution.
The event is jointly organized by the MIT Startup Exchange and the Industrial Liaison Program (ILP). MIT Startup Exchange actively promotes collaboration and partnerships between MIT-connected startups and industry, exclusively members of MIT's Industrial Liaison Program. “MIT-connected” startups are based on licensed MIT technology, or are founded by MIT faculty, staff, or alumni.
