About the Indigenous Innovators Summit

MIT Solve is gathering Indigenous and non-Indigenous individuals February 29-March 1, 2024 in Tucson, Arizona for celebration and collaboration. We’re eager to bring attention to the technology and innovations of Indigenous peoples, including our current and past Indigenous Communities Fellows. We are also proud to offer a space that will foster Indigenous and non-Indigenous individuals — Solve community members, experts, business leaders, and academics, among others — from the US and Canada to forge new relationships and examine ways we may work together to sustainably and ethically support Indigenous communities.
