Event will seek solutions to some of the world’s biggest problems.
Emerging Worlds is an initiative by MIT Media Lab focused on opportunities to use innovation to solve big problems and pressing challenges in areas such as health, education, financial inclusion, energy and environment, food and agriculture, housing, transportation, beauty and self-esteem, local business and more, in Indian and other Emerging Worlds.
About the Event:
Innovating for Billion is a 2 day event where you will have the opportunity to:
- Join the tour of Innovation hubs across the city of Boston on Oct 26th
- Participate in a workshop on Oct 27th. Roll up your sleeves with other participants as the MIT Media Lab team leads an innovation exercise to “spot” and “probe” on exciting Emerging Worlds challenges.
