Come to Pitch Night in San Francisco! Enjoy presentations from Cornell Tech master’s students and insights from Bay Area tech judges.

With light refreshments and wine on offer, it’s a great chance to connect with Cornell and Technion alumni and tech enthusiasts from around the Bay Area. Don’t miss out—register today!

Pitch Night showcases the culmination of a semester’s research around real-world challenges in agriculture technology (AgTech) and explores intersections with AI, autonomous systems, and design thinking. Students from Cornell Tech (NYC), Universidad de Monterrey (Mexico), and Shenkar College of Design and Engineering (Israel) tackle four key topics:

• Labor Force Transition & Onboarding:
     â—‹ Helping workers adapt to autonomous systems through gamification, AI-driven training, and visual learning tools.
• Environmental Resilience Practices:
     â—‹ Reducing reliance on chemical pesticides with precision agriculture, drone technology, and organic alternatives.
• Agriculture & Well-Being:
     â—‹ Reconnecting people to agriculture through community gardening, AI-driven crop optimization, and agricultural therapy.
• Autonomous Fleet Management:
     â—‹ Optimizing autonomous farming vehicles with AI-driven dashboards, predictive maintenance, and efficiency tools.

This event caps a daylong hackathon and a weeklong Bay Area trek, where students learn from the local tech and startup scene.

Cornell Tech, on Roosevelt Island in New York City, integrates technology, business, law, and design to foster economic and social prosperity. By collaborating across disciplines and with industry and public sector leaders, it pioneers practical solutions to global challenges. The Jacobs Technion-Cornell Institute, a vital part of Cornell Tech, embodies an academic collaboration between Cornell and the Technion-Israel Institute of Technology, enriching the campus with a blend of both universities’ academic communities.
