The first-annual MIT-India Conference is a joint initiative of the MIT Schools of Arts, Engineering, Science and Management. As a part of the broader MIT Global Initiative, the conference aims to celebrate the existing partnerships between MIT and India, as well as discuss future collaborations between the two that could help accelerate innovation into the future. The key areas of discussion in panels and plenaries will be innovative technologies, healthcare, frugal innovation, finance, and governance in India today. We hope these conversations will continue even beyond the sessions. It will be held September 23, 2011.
