Academics and startups from Imperial College London and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology presented their innovative ideas at a conference.
Co-organised by Imperial Business Partners and MIT, the Innovation Journeys Conference brought together industry leaders, academics and startups from both universities to explore and share the latest technological innovations and research.
Imperial Business Partners offers a unique approach to problem-solving for research-driven industries via accelerated access to Imperial's expertise, talent and facilities.
Entrepreneurial journey
Imperial's Director of Enterprise Simon Hepworth discussed the university's role in the entrepreneurial journey, saying it is present at all stages, whether that's for students or staff.
The College's enterprising ecosystem is vast, ranging from academic ventures, entrepreneurship competitions and programmes such as WeInnovate and the Enterprise Lab, which supports student innovation.
Dr Hepworth also discussed how the university is on an innovation journey itself and is trying to make it as easy as possible for industrial partners to reach the College's entrepreneurs, who can help them get their ideas to market.
