MIT-CHIEF

The MIT-China Innovation and Entrepreneurship Forum (MIT-CHIEF) is an annually-held conference and high-profile platform for intellectual exchange to foster deeper and broader collaboration between China and the United States in technology, innovation, and entrepreneurship. On November 19-20, 2011, leading authorities from academia, industries, enterprises, businesses, and government institutions, from both China and the US, will convene at MIT to deliver presentations and showcase their work. We intend to address not only current developments and collaborations between enterprises in the US and China in cutting-edge fields such as clean technology, information technology, health care, and biotechnology, but also policy-making issues and future directions China should take to facilitate continued innovation in the country. Additionally, for budding entrepreneurs, we also feature a "Pitch to China" Business Plan Contest with cash prizes totalling $18,000.
