MIT Technology Review to host free virtual event honoring 2023 Innovators Under 35

This annual list honors exceptional young innovators whose big ideas turn into real-world solutions on December 6, 2023.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Nov. 27, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- MIT Technology Review recently announced an inspiring new class of Innovators Under 35, who will be honored in a free virtual event on Wednesday, December 6, 2023, from 11:00 am -1:00 pm ET with the theme, "What Makes an Innovator?"

For more than 20 years, MIT Technology Review's Innovators Under 35 list has celebrated innovators and their drive to reshape the world for the better. This year's festival theme gives voice to the innovators' stories: the problems they set out to solve, the challenges they faced, and the lessons learned along the way. The 2023 honorees include a researcher focused on self-amplifying RNA—a form of mRNA that can make copies of itself once it gets inside cells, a startup founder unlocking new possibilities in electronics by building batteries that can bend and flex, and an assistant professor of mechanical engineering developing miniature robots that mimic more flexible movements.

Past Innovators Under 35 recipients have gone on to great success in their fields and be behind the innovations that have become a part of our lives and the future. These honorees include, Andrew Ng, Mark Zuckerberg, Julie Shah, of Interactive Robotics Group at MIT; Helen Greiner, the co-founder of iRobot; Larry Page and Sergey Brin, the co-founders of Google; Jonathan Ive, chief designer at Apple, and MIT neuroscientist Ed Boyden, one of the inventors of the emerging field of optogenetics, to name a few. This year's class is sure to continue the legacy of past innovators.

"This year's class of innovators is serious about solving big challenges in our world and has already made great progress toward that end, despite many challenges," says Amy Nordrum, an executive editor in the newsroom. "We can get a glimpse of where our world is headed through the work and ideas of the people on this list."

MIT Technology Review's annual list of Innovators Under 35 honors rising stars from around the globe who are leveraging emerging technology to make our future brighter. This year's list of changemakers span industries including artificial intelligence, biotech, climate and energy, computing, and robotics.

Nominations for the 2024 class of 35 Innovators Under 35 are now being accepted.
