IRINA GAZIYEVA: Good afternoon, everyone. And thank you for joining us for the second session of Lightning Talks. My name is Irina Gaziyeva, and I'm program coordinator for the MIT Startup Exchange program. I want to reemphasize what my colleague Katerina mentioned earlier this morning. The MIT Startup Exchange program works exclusively with startups connected to MIT.

Many of our peer program partners are in the audience today. We encourage you to follow up with us directly if you have any startups interested in joining our program to benefit from the exciting opportunity of direct access to industries. Please visit our website.

Now to the reason we are all here. During this session, you'll discover six MIT-connected startups implementing inventive approaches across various industries and applications. If you haven't had a chance to network with them earlier, you can do it right after the session.
