Good Day 1 sessions today at @MITechWeek! The expertise and depth of industrial-thinking was definitely felt — these are global corporate leaders and founders solving HardTech/DeepTech problems. The Director of Siemens for Startups is a true inspiration and motivational speaker! ⚡️⚡️⚡️ The Startups-Corporate partnerships conversation was helpful to make sure we’re sharp before the deals… Also discussed how to best work with local governments as more businesses become partnered across these areas. The Smart Cities conversation was interesting too—love how Detroit is thinking about infra and systems for the generations ahead. Not just for the IPO. Looking forward to Day 2 at @Newlab!

@MITechWeek was one for the books 🚀. @SiliconVlyBank
