In this Seven half-day course, learners will reinvent their approach to innovation, pulling inspiration from real-world success stories, innovation focused tours through MIT and Cambridge, and a practical application of AI-powered tools to identify their industry’s “next best thing.”
The innovative development of new platforms, products, and services, especially in response to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), has the potential to transform our society. Today’s companies have many new opportunities: transition to new energy; mobility including autonomous vehicles; robotics and AI; smart materials and cities; and breakthrough medicine, agriculture, and maritime systems.

Decision-makers who are skilled at forecasting technology innovation have a competitive advantage. By gaining knowledge in forecasting technology, you can provide businesses with up-to-date data and analytical insights that can inform decision-making. Explore analytics tools to help companies analyze past trends and accurately predict future trends, allowing them to make more informed decisions.

MIT Prof. Jinhua Zhao will be delivering this 2-day course in Tokyo, Japan. This course will focus on two forces driving the future of urban mobility: behavior and computation. We use a behavioral lens to examine mobility technologies such as automation, connectivity, sharing, and electrification, and demonstrate the power of integrating behavioral and computational thinking. We observe that travel behavior is emotional, social, and perceptual, and mobility service can be predictive, individualized, experimental, and multimodal.
