Sector Spotlights

Sector Spotlights

Sector Spotlights feature industry leaders and provide partnership opportunities through in-person connections. During the selected month, an industry sector is highlighted through a Lunch & Learn in the first week of the month and a Networking Reception in the second week.

Lunch & Learn sessions usually feature 3 speakers who bring an international perspective while sharing insights and experiences around: new innovations in the sector, top and emerging overseas markets, and global and regional partnerships and collaborations. For a more personal, in-depth experience with our thought leaders and innovators, these sessions are members-only events.

Networking Events offer attendees a tour of a nearby business, manufacturing, or research facility in the industry prior to the networking reception. This event is open to the public with MITC members receiving a discounted rate.
