Inventors and members of the innovation ecosystem generate an idea that addresses a need.

Teams around the world or taking part in focused "camps" and "hackathons" develop rough, functioning proofs of concept.

Innovation centers and partners combine their talents and skills to evolve the prototypes into more polished, fully functioning solutions.

Through our ecosystem of strategic partnerships and local communities, we validate sufficiently developed prototypes in real-world settings.

MIT Media Lab Consortium Members, Multinationals and our network of global partners facilitate the successful deployment, marketing and distribution of tangible technologies and solutions.
