What's the Next Industrial Revolution? Find Out Via the Tech Day Webcast, June 9

Technology Day is one of the beloved Tech Reunions traditions, and this year MIT professors and alumni shed light on advanced manufacturing and the promise it holds to inject new vitality into sectors of the economy thought to be in decline and to position America again as a world leader in manufacturing.

This new industrial revolution builds on recent advances in computation, computationally based materials, and robotic processes, and it has the potential to transform manufacturing in all established industrial centers.
