MIT
The MIT Enterprise Forum San Diego is about education, networking and community among business leaders, technologists, capital and service providers. By discussing business issues of leading technology, life sciences and sport companies in a public forum we all learn about how to keep innovative technology, life science, and sport companies running straight and fast! MIT uses a unique business case study method to uncover valuable insights about presenting companies.
The Forum hosts ten programs annually: seven case studies, two special topic programs, and a Summer Wine Social, which has become one of San Diego’s premier technology events.
SDSI collaborates with MIT Enterprise Forum to present two case studies each year specific to the sports industry. Recent SDSI presenting companies include H2O Audio and ElliptiGO.
Check out this clip of ElliptiGO’s Case presentation: Plans for Rapid Expansion, including interview with CEO Bryan Pate presented to you by VERB TV
