In Google’s quest to identify technologies with a global impact, Google [x] initiated a series of conferences to give a stage to innovators in life sciences and technology. Solve for X is coming to New Jersey in a February event at Rutgers University organized by the Google Developer Group for North Jersey. It’s looking for companies to present their ideas.

The companies that are selected will have their 12-minute presentation posted on the Solve for X site, and may be invited to present at Google [x]

In the runup to the Rutgers University event, there are three screening events in December and January that will serve as tryouts for prospective companies. The submission deadlines are December 1 for Montclair State University in New Jersey,  January 5 for Google’s New York City offices and January 12 for The Grommet in the Boston area.
