Big Ideas. Big Decisions. Big Impact.
 

September 30-October 1, 2024
MIT Campus, Cambridge, MA

In-person and online


For more than 20 years, EmTech MIT has gathered the innovators behind tomorrow's headlines for fearless discussions on the emerging trends and technologies that are re-writing the rules of business.

With 125 years of technology reporting experience, MIT Technology Review’s editorial staff convenes trusted industry experts and academics to identify the most disruptive technologies and greatest opportunities, before they hit the mainstream.

This year’s agenda focuses on the two greatest forces impacting every business decision today: artificial intelligence and climate technologies for a green economy.

  • Artificial Intelligence: We examine breakthroughs, concerns, and the near-future possibilities brought on by this ubiquitous technology.
     
  • Climate Technologies for a Green Economy: The new green economy will be built on renewable-energy innovations and climate-tech infrastructure that solves for both sustainability and profitability.
     

Backed by the technology expertise of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, EmTech MIT delivers inspiration and action plans for the decision makers of our technology-driven world.
