iQ3Connect provides a web-based solution empowering individuals, teams, and enterprises to create, deploy, collaborate, and learn with immersive and interactive 3D content on any VR, AR, PC, or mobile device. We are on a mission to transform immersive 3D into a scalable and pervasive communication tool for enterprises to save time, reduce cost, and achieve sustainable operations. In 2017, we used our deep expertise in high performance 3D computational tools to build a self-service web-based XR platform. Our proprietary technology, based on research done at MIT, formed the basis of our platform and our vision to make immersive 3D fast, easy, collaborative, and accessible on the web for everyone. Our enterprise product provides the next generation of powerful 3D collaboration – faster than web conference 2D screensharing, and includes no-code authoring tools to enable engineers, trainers, and even students to create compelling immersive experiences with complex 3D content. We passionately believe that by providing an open, inclusive, and collaborative 3D platform, we can accelerate the world’s ability to share and absorb complex ideas. iQ3Connect is part of the MIT Startup Exchange, a STEX25 alumni, mentored by the MIT Venture Mentoring Service, a winner of the MassChallenge 2021 Platinum Award, and a winner of the LG Nova Mission for the Future Challenge 2022.

Kalion was founded to take on the significant challenge of commercializing important new molecules that could be derived in a greener manner and offer significant advantages over traditional oil-based molecules. Prof. Kristala Prather at MIT decided using the Department of Energy’s Top Value-Added Chemical from Biomass Report that glucaric acid offered a significant challenge but if successful it could offer a new platform chemical that could would have much to offer the world. Her success, with glucaric acid and the subsequent development at Kalion has created a high purity glucaric acid that now allows companies and researchers from other universities to fully exploited the unique properties of glucaric acid and related molecules.
