Partnering with the best technology startups and entrepreneurs is a vital part of Morgan Stanley's approach to accelerating tech innovation.

Every summer, Morgan Stanley's technologists meet with cutting-edge firms and industry leaders in Silicon Valley to explore emerging trends and new products. The CTO Innovation Summit, an exclusive event, helps new firms grow and keeps Morgan Stanley Technology at the forefront of a fast changing industry.

Since the inception of the Summit 17 years ago, Morgan Stanley has met with more than 800 startups, many of which have become part of the firm's tech ecosystem, no small feat given that Summit presentations usually mark the first in-depth interaction between the firm's tech leaders and early-stage companies. Later this year Morgan Stanley will host another marquee technology event exclusively focused on fintech providers.
