Agentic Commerce: When Agents move from Intranet to Internet with Prof. Raskar (MIT)
The shift from "Intranet" to "Internet" agents marks the transition from closed, internal enterprise bots to autonomous entities that can discover, negotiate, and transact in the open market.
Join Prof. Ramesh Raskar (MIT Media Lab) and AI Experts for an exclusive exploration of the infrastructure required to make this leap.
16:45 Registration and Guest Check-ins
17:00 – 17:15 | Welcome and Opening: The Manifesto of the Open Agentic Web
Speaker: Mahesh Lambe, Chief Scientist and Executive at ProjectNANDA.org
Moving from "Generative AI" (content) to "Agentic AI" (agency). Why the "Global Networked Future" requires a new layer of discovery and trust. A brief look at the 20+ NANDA global chapters and 6000+ members already operationalizing this vision.
17:15 – 17:45 | Visionary Keynote: Agentic Commerce & Market Infra for Intelligence
Speaker: Prof. Ramesh Raskar (MIT)
• The Internet of Intelligence: Moving beyond RAG and chat to agents that execute commerce.
• Market Infrastructure: How agents settle transactions, verify identity, and manage trust without human intermediaries.
• The Shift: Moving from internal enterprise automation (Intranet) to open-world agency (Internet).
The Global Opportunity: How networked agents will leapfrog traditional infrastructure in emerging markets.
17:45 – 18:00 | Fireside: Scaling the Agentic AI Nervous System Dialogue: Prof. Raskar & industry leaders Topic: From MIT Research to Global Implementation of Internet of Agents Discussion: Operationalizing the Internet of Agents layers across heterogeneous stacks. How the NANDA "Global Networked Future" handles cross-border agent coordination. Insights into the future

About Nanda
NANDA is pioneering the foundational infrastructure for the Internet of AI Agents — enabling autonomous systems to interact, transact, and collaborate seamlessly.
We are solving the core challenge of the next decade: How can billions of AI agents discover each other, verify capabilities, and coordinate tasks without creating bottlenecks or security vulnerabilities.
NANDA employs a three-phased approach: (i) Technology: Building technology, standards, and reference implementations through a collective of top minds. (ii) Social Mission: Working to maintain an open Agentic Web for innovators while ensuring safety for vulnerable populations. (iii) Venture Ecosystem: Fostering a wide coalition of founders and investors.
NANDA's development draws on proven MIT research in AutoML, split learning, privacy-preserving architectures, and decentralized coordination. Early partners in the coalition gain preferential access to emerging standards, reference implementations, and the academic-industry consortium that will influence the emerging frameworks globally.
