The MIT Alumni Climate Business and Innovation (CBI) group hosted its first forum to share ideas and opportunities for advancing businesses with energy, climate, or environmental impact. This CBI forum was the kickoff event for building a community of alums working to develop business and technology innovation for a sustainable future.
Participate, if you are excited about learning and potentially collaborating with this group.
On March 29, 2022, we heard from three alums seeking support on their business or tech. They asked about tech assistance, business growth, marketing, and more. After the short presentations, Forum participants joined presenters in break-out rooms to discuss ideas and needs.
Irshad Ahmed, MBA '12 presented AurisEnergy
Herb Zien SM '73 presented Liquid Cool Solutions
Luc Frechett SM '97, PhD '00 presented CSAR Energy
MIT alums interested in presenting at future forums should apply to the CBI group with a brief description of your business/tech and what support from other alums would be helpful.
Join the group and participate in its soon-to-be announced on-line collaboration platform.
CBI is a group in the MIT Alumni Energy, Environment and Sustainability Network (EESN)

Jordan McRae ’05 was scuba diving off the coast of Mozambique many years ago when he started having trouble with his regulator. Unable to breathe effectively, he signaled to a fellow diver for help—but his companion didn’t understand and ended up making the situation worse. “I didn’t die, but I was pretty scared,” McRae says.
The experience inspired McRae to seek a technical solution to the problem of communicating in challenging audio environments. Today he is the founder and CEO of Mobilus Labs, a startup commercializing a voice communication platform that works wherever it is hard to hear.
