Abstract
The minimal embedding of the Standard Model in type I string theory is desc ribed. The SU(3) color and SU(2) weak interactions arise from two different collections of branes. The correct prediction of the weak angle is obtaine d for a string scale of 6-8 TeV. Two Higgs doublets are necessary and proto n stability is guaranteed. It predicts two massive vector bosons with masse s at the TeV scale, as well as a new superweak interaction.
