Nano technology is all around us – in the buildings, infrastructure, and transportation systems we rely on every day. But nano’s impacts on the built environment are accelerating, helping make cities more sustainable, efficient, smarter, and healthier. Please join us as we present, discuss, and explore nano-enhanced cities and how the world is evolving from the nano-scale up. We’ll help redefine your understanding of what nano technology is and how it is reinventing the built environment as we know it.
Finland has pledged to be carbon neutral by 2035. Helsinki’s pledge is set for 2030. Most organizations and states have made pledges that materialize decades away. Finland is therefore leading the way in these important commitments, crucial to fight the existential threat of climate change. Constant innovation, coupled with rapid commercialization, are key to the success of these ambitious goals. Great challenges abound, and these are coupled with numerous opportunities for profitable business outcomes for Finnish companies – opportunities that are not limited to Finland but applicable around the globe.
The MIT Industrial Liaison Program and the MIT Startup Exchange, in collaboration with Aalto University, are conducting a one-day symposium at the Dipoli center in the heart of the university campus. MIT and Aalto University faculty and startups, as well as representatives from Finnish industry, will discuss the business and technology challenges needed to further accelerate sustainable innovation. Launching and commercializing these innovations quickly will ensure that Finnish companies and institutions establish a leadership role in the crucial decades ahead.
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.
The pharmaceutical industry is under growing pressure from patent expirations of major drugs, cost-constrained health care systems, and a demanding regulatory environment. A focus for the industry is to tackle these challenges while increasing the output and quality of cost-effective, new medicines without incurring unsustainable R&D cost. Through new technology and new approaches there is an aspiration to make such improvements while also bringing ever-improved therapeutics to patients faster. In this conference, we will lay out many of the challenges the industry is facing and explore potential solutions coming from academic research and startup endeavors, from early discovery through manufacturing technologies, to clinical studies and beyond.
Collecting, keeping and using data securely, efficiently and cost-effectively has been a challenge for companies across all industries as the amount of data skyrockets and advances in data science struggle to keep pace. This webinar will present talks from two MIT faculty and 3 MIT-connected startups on a variety of topics related to data management. These will include an introduction and overview of the Modern Data Stack, a radically new approach to data integration that saves time; introduction to already commercialized new tools for reducing the cost of compliance, automatic reconfiguration, and rescheduling big data; using ML to partition the cloud which is faster, cheaper and allows for optimization; and generating clean, curated, and enriched customer data.
In recent years, quantum sensing has become a distinct and rapidly growing branch within quantum science and technology. Quantum sensing offers great potential for high sensitivity and precision sensors in many fields, such as metrology, imaging, healthcare, material, and energy. In this webinar, you will learn the latest developments in quantum sensing research from leading MIT faculty, as well as meet MIT Startup Exchange entrepreneurs whose companies have been developing some of the most innovative quantum sensing applications.
This webinar will discuss insights that are important to build resilient and efficient supply chains under uncertain environments. Speakers will elaborate on how understanding business characteristics, and using quantitative approaches may help mapping leverage points, understanding challenges and gaining flexibility in supply chains. Attendees will learn innovative strategies to support their decision-making processes to create proactive, adaptable business models through the use of data analytics while reducing costs and expanding their market share without compromising their long-term financial sustainability.
The chemical industry is increasingly leveraging artificial Intelligence in their quest for new synthetic routes and chemical structures used in a wide variety of applications including: building materials, packaging, agrochemicals, pharmaceuticals, and consumer products. While past efforts focused on optimizing time and cost of producing materials, growing environmental concerns, and new legislation lead manufacturers to address the environmental impact and sustainability of their products. In this webinar we present research on, and application of, computer-assisted technologies to assist researchers and corporate R&D scientists and engineers in identifying and leveraging environmentally friendly chemistry and materials.
