About MIT Technology Review

MIT Technology Review was founded in 1899 at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the United States. It’s the oldest and the most influential technology and business magazine in the world. Since 2010, MIT Technology Review has annually named a list of Smartest Companies. In 2019, MIT Technology Review introduced the concept of “China Pivot” for the first time. Continuing the stance and values of the previous year, the list of 2020 was based on the concept of “China Cohesion”. MIT Technology Review believed that by emphasizing China as a cornerstone for emerging technologies, it could effectively assess the commercial capabilities and future potential generated by this leverage.
