OCTOBER 8, 2018, NEW YORK – Miratech Group, a global IT services and consulting organization, hosted the North American session of their annual networking event M-Force that took place in New York City on September 26-27.
With Value Innovation headlining the conference, M-Force18 NY was unique in bringing together attendees from over 10 countries, and connecting global enterprise innovation with startup innovation.
Today, innovation is happening faster than most companies can adapt, and M-Force helps bring innovation to scale by bridging the gap between these two communities to discuss these changes from two perspectives – from the nimbleness of a startup and from the scalability of a large multinational corporation.
M-Force18 NY began with an exclusive session for the Miratech partners, followed by R&D4Equity Pitch Day, a new program designed by Miratech and an addition to the annual conference. The pitch session was held on September 26th in partnership with Rise New York at their facility in the heart of New York startup scene. 10 selected startups presented their innovative ideas, including next generation segmentation for software-defined networking, AI for human services, “People Scoring” as a Service, and innovative customer intelligence platform. Some presenters who are already successfully leveraging Miratech’s R&D4Equity Program, including Plants Map and 8dates also presented their companies to the panel of investors and technology experts.
