Materials play a central role in all aspects of new technologies needed to achieve sustainability goals and address climate change. New materials are needed for exploitation of renewable carbon-free energy sources and for energy storage that supports efficient use of energy. Materials designed for efficient use through recycling and reuse, or designed to be biodegradable to minimize environmental impact are also needed. Development of new reduced-carbon processes for making materials, especially those made in large quantities, will also be critical in achieving climate goals. Examples of ongoing research on innovative approaches to these challenges will be highlighted in this year’s Materials Day symposium.
Join us for the MIT ILP Paris Symposium hosted by Groupe Bouygues to explore the challenges and opportunities of digital transformation in the corporation. While the road to digitalizing our business processes is long underway, it is still necessary to commit to investing in people and technology to ensure long-term strategic business transformation for the good of the customer. Remaining agile in a rapidly-changing business environment not only keeps you competitive, but also allows for greater innovation. In order to remain innovative, should your company utilize intrapreneurship, collaboration with startups, or even both? How can this innovation bring success for the whole organization, and not just the sum of its parts?
