Today’s leaders seek new solutions to eradicate disease; provide food, water, renewable energy sources, and affordable education to billions; and address the demands of growing urban populations.
Taking on these difficult challenges requires a bold approach. Each year, the MIT Technology Review endeavors to highlight today’s most creative and bold young technologists, celebrating the rising stars who have dedicated their careers to purpose-driven innovation. You can now watch videos of these rising stars pitching their work from the EmTech MIT stage.
Here’s a preview of some of the Innovators Under 35 talks that are now available to view online:
- Miles Barr, Cofounder and CEO of Ubiquitous Energy, on a product that charges mobile devices with solar power that he hopes you’ll never see
- Kurtis Heimerl, CEO of Endaga on his work to expand mobile Internet access in the developing world
- Maria Nunes Pereira, Head of Adhesive Technologies at Gecko Biomedical, on her work designing a “bio-inspired” glue to mend the broken hearts of newborn babies
- Jonathan Viventi, Assistant Professor at the New York University Polytechnic School of Engineering, on his breakthrough approach to treating epilepsy with implanted electrical devices
- Severin Hacker, Cofounder and CEO of Duolingo, on a novel approach to learning languages that is making the Web more accessible
Plan to meet this year’s newsmakers by attending the MIT Technology Review’s Digital Summit in San Francisco, June 1-2, 2015.
