In just a short time, prominent representatives of sciences and top-notch researchers of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) will gather together in Vienna. AUSSENWIRTSCHAFT AUSTRIA, the foreign trade office of the Austrian Federal Economic Chamber, is hosting the international technology conference on the premises of the Federal Economic Chamber from March 29-30, 2017.

Technological change has never been so far-reaching, strategically important and quick as it is nowadays. These new conditions demand a radical re-thinking on the part of companies. Innovation has to be understood and actively practiced and embedded in corporate policies.

The speakers include Donna Rhodes, Director of MIT Systems Engineering Advancement Initiative, who will focus on the issue of “Digital Twins”, or the virtual reproduction of products enabling industry to save time and costs. Steve Leeb of the Laboratory for Electromagnetic and Electronic Systems at MIT will explain how “Wire Less Sensors” can support industry and households in optimizing resource use and reducing costs.  

Other topics to be dealt with at the MIT Europe Conference:

• 3D printing
• Sensor-supported product development
