Project Start Date March 2011
Founded in 2011, MIT-China Innovation and Entrepreneurship Forum (MIT-CHIEF) is leading student-run conference focusing on collaborations between China and the United States on innovation and entrepreneurship. Dedicated to a constructive dialogue on the challenges, trends, and issues affecting technology innovation and commercialization, the forum aims to engage leading scientists, economists and entrepreneurs in a discourse that offers insights and generates ideas.
Every year, MIT-CHIEF hosts three major events, namely the China Trip (in the summer), the Pitch-to-China Business Plan Contest (starting from April), and the Annual Conference (around November). Besides the three major events, we also offer participants unparalleled opportunities to share knowledge on cutting-edge technologies and gain valuable business insights through lectures, workshops and startup demos all year round.
MIT-CHIEF is home to hundreds of startups, including Mobvoi, Smarking, MorphLab, and Recon Therapeutics. Over the past few years, the total funding raised by startups in the MIT-CHIEF community has exceeded 150 million US dollars.
