At MIT, we believe that problems can’t be solved in isolation.

We welcome industries, from all sectors and of all sizes, to engage with us to advance engineering education, research, and impact.

Collaborative opportunities are possible through intellectual and financial support to students and faculty, and in some cases, via partnerships with programs that range from start-up incubators to research centers to STEM outreach efforts.
