Strategic Collaboration & Partnership 
The AI Research Summit convenes leaders across academia, healthcare, and industry to advance rigorous, responsible AI research with real-world impact. Select strategic partners and benefactors are invited to participate to engage in dialogue, learn from Mayo Clinic’s research ecosystem, and explore responsible pathways for collaboration that respect scientific independence, governance, and trust. 
Industry and benefactor participation is structured to support learning and dialogue — not product promotion, commercial solicitation, or agenda influence.
