The MIT Entrepreneurship Center (E-Center) educates and nurtures science, engineering, and management students who will make high-tech ventures successful. E-Center subjects, especially when combined with professional student club activities, provide the tools and develop the mindset that entrepreneurs need to design, launch, and build successful new enterprises.
All entrepreneurship subjects, described under Course 15 in the online MIT Subject Listing & Schedule (http://student.mit.edu/catalog/index.cgi), are available to graduate students from all MIT departments, and support the strong community of MIT entrepreneurship and innovation. Courses frequently feature invited speakers who have significant real-world experience to share. In addition, each January, the E-Center organizes the Entrepreneurship Development Program, an intense, one-week course for potential entrepreneurs and policy-makers from all over the world.
The MIT Entrepreneurship Center operates a global network of relationships with like-minded centers in Europe, the Middle East, and AustralAsia.
The E-Center also supports and cooperates closely with a wide array of related organizations at MIT, including the MIT $100K Entrepreneurship Competition, the MIT Venture Capital and Private Equity Club, the MIT Sloan Biomedical Business Club, the Sales Club, Sloan Entrepreneurs for International Development, the MIT Energy Club, the MIT Sloan Energy and Environment Club, the MIT Technology Licensing Office, the Deshpande Center for Technological Innovation, the Venture Mentoring Service, the Legatum Center for Development and Entrepreneurship, the MIT Enterprise Forum, the MIT Alumni Association, the MIT Sloan Career Development Office, and the Industrial Liaison Program.
Through these alliances, the MIT Entrepreneurship Center supports both faculty and students in research to better understand and enhance the high-tech entrepreneurship process.
Kenneth P. Morse is the managing director of the MIT Entrepreneurship Center. Professor Edward B. Roberts is chairman. William K. Aulet is the entrepreneur in residence and a senior lecturer, and José J. Pacheco is program manager.
