Massachusetts Tech Leaders Visit BU
Tech leaders from across the commonwealth had an opportunity to hear from Boston University students who are building a better wheelchair, a medication delivery robot, a drone system for wildlife conservation, and more when the Massachusetts STEM Advisory Council met earlier this month at Boston University.
“Innovation happens because of this ecosystem,” said Massachusetts Lt. Governor Kim Driscoll, cochair of the council, in opening remarks at BU’s Robotics & Autonomous Systems Teaching and Innovation Center (RASTIC). “And the great thing about the innovation economy is that you all collaborate way more than you compete,” Driscoll added, addressing an assemblage of technology executives, government officials, educators, and students from BU and other area colleges.
