About The Host:
Founded in 2011, MIT-CHIEF firmly holds the aspiration to promote intellectual exchanges and collaborations between China and the United States in technology, innovation, and entrepreneurship. Every year, we proudly present our Annual Conference with distinguished scholars, seasoned investors, and experienced industry leaders and entrepreneurs. In the 2015 MIT-CHIEF Conference, we hosted over 1000 attendees from around the world, with renowned speakers including Shi Wang ( Chairman of China Vanke Co. Ltd), Alex (Sandy) Pentland (Creator of MIT Media Lab, serial entrepreneur, one of the most cited authors in computer science), Deniz Kural (Co-Founder and CEO at Seven Bridges Genomics), Nicolas Roy (Founder of project wings at GoogleX),Edward B. Roberts (Founder/Chair of MIT Martin Trust Center)., and so on.The Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) is a hotspot of scientific research where technologies are constantly taking shape to address real-world challenges. As China faces many such challenges today, we believe this is an ideal time to provide an interactive discussion forum between China and researchers at MIT. We also believe that the core values established byMIT's founder William Barton Rogers 150 years ago—inventional wisdom, useful work founded on science, hands-on learning, meritocracy and hard work, and service—have great potential to advance and develop the future.
