The Kendall Square Association’s (KSA) annual meeting on Wednesday — which included a keynote presentation by MIT President L. Rafael Reif — focused on ways MIT and others can foster, and benefit from, Kendall’s rising innovation ecosystem.
Topics included the growth of Kendall Square infrastructure (mostly in the form of buildings for biotech firms) and initiatives to promote entrepreneurship in the district — such as MIT’s Kendall Square Initiative and the shared-lab facility known as LabCentral.
“What you see is probably the most dynamic, exciting innovation cluster the globe has to offer,” Reif said in his keynote address. “There’s a lot of good that needs to be done, and needs to be done well. And [helping Kendall expand] is one great example of how we can solve significant problems in the world.”
The KSA is a nonprofit, with 132 member companies and organizations, dedicated to improving infrastructure, retail and pedestrian access in Kendall Square. The group’s annual meeting was held in the John A. Volpe National Transportation Systems Center in Kendall Square.
