Neurips 2025 Social: Value Chain of Research to ROI
Organised by Women in AI, Products By Women
We’re excited to share Women in AI and Products By Women are together hosting a social at NeurIPS 2025, happening in San Diego, Dec 3–7!
We seek to understand: how even more economic activity and impact can be derived by establishing pathways from applied research at higher TRLs to larger ecosystems consisting of products, businesses, communities of practices? How can research be ready to accelerate into products/applied solutions? What environments, funding models, catalysts, actors, processes need to be in place in order to facilitate outcomes of research to better integrate and propel new ideas into societies, with safeguards? The event is structured to help researchers and stakeholders recognise, articulate, and harness their research’s broader potential, emphasising ecosystem thinking and practical steps needed to scale research impact.
​
The social will last for 2 hours, with the first hour being a panel discussion with senior research, technology, and product leaders from academia, major technology companies and industry labs addressing above questions, followed by group activity on possible sector-specific product ideas built on attendee’s own research, coached by mentors.
​
Please note: While this social is organised by women’s orgs, it is about research, with the above topic in focus. EVERYONE who is a registered attendee to Neurips 2025 is welcome to attend.
