Built to Matter

Technology is advancing at a remarkable pace, creating new possibilities for how we build, operate, and solve complex problems. As AI lowers barriers to building, and as the frontier expands beyond large language models into physical AI, biotech, and other hard-tech domains, the challenge is increasingly one of judgment: identifying what will have lasting impact, deciding what is worth building, and keeping human values and accountability at the center of technological progress.

The 35th Annual HBS Tech Conference, Built to Matter, brings together builders, operators, and investors engaging with these questions across industries and stages of growth. Join students, alumni, and practitioners from Harvard and the greater Boston community for conversations on how to build technology, organizations, and careers that matter.
