创新创业论坛开创麻省理工与中国合作新篇章【李强】
首届麻省理工学院(MIT)中国创新创业论坛于19、20日在MIT校园的史塔塔中心举办。600位来自中美两国的企业家、学者、专业人士和留学生等就各领域的创新机遇和挑战展开热烈地讨论,旨在通过多种形式建立中美创新创业领域高端交流的平台。
19 日下午2点,MIT中国学生学者联合会主席李瑞首先代表组委会致欢迎词,宣布论坛开幕。李瑞在致词中表示,创新创业论坛是MIT建校150周年以来首次针对中国、以年会形式呈现的集成化大型论坛,本身就是一种创新。中国已经是世界第2大经济实体,在中国今后10年、20年、30年的发展中,MIT同中国基于共同的利益必须加强合作。
20日下午4点半,针对中国市场的商业计划书总决赛在论坛现场举行。6个进入决赛的团队向8位评委介绍他们的创业项目,回答评委以及与会者的提问。作为此次论坛的重要组成部分,比赛涉及IT、能源、医疗、非营利组织等多个领域。通过3个月的严格筛选和两轮的淘汰,大赛从近100个创业团队中选出6个项目进入决赛。
经过评委仔细考量,大奖最终由2号团队Biosensor生物芯片项目获得,并赢得一万元大奖,易停车和我搭车项目获得二等奖。2 号团队由哈佛大学博士生权奇敏上台介绍,他指出运用纳米科技的新型检测仪可以运用于食物和药品检验。已经获得多项专利的Biosensor项目得到评委的青睐。从北京来参赛的我搭车首席执行官王一禾毕业于哥伦比亚大学,曾在华尔街工作。他表示为减少北京的空气污染是他放弃美国高薪工作,到北京创立我搭车公司的主要动机之一。
