At our annual MIT Startup Ecosystem Conference, we celebrate innovation and bring together its many contributors: entrepreneurs, corporates, and university researchers, as well as government representatives, investors, and those involved with incubators and accelerators. We will assemble to discuss creating, supporting, and scaling new ventures and how to increase productivity and competitive advantage. Aligned with the emphasis of MIT Startup Exchange, we will focus on the startup-corporate relationship. Topics will include pain points, valleys of death, and strategies to avoid as well as how to overcome the stones found along the way. 

As always, this event features executives from some of the most promising startups connected to MIT who will present lightning talks in two fast-paced sessions, each followed by an opportunity to have direct discussions.

Many consider this conference a must-attend for innovators and executives at industry-leading corporations, especially those working in innovation, emerging technology, corporate venture capital, and/or corporate development/strategy.
