How many times have you heard a captain of industry say, "It all started with an idea they had at MIT"?

Yes, cutting-edge science and technology research from our classrooms and laboratories has made the world a better place and brought fame and fortune to countless scientists, entrepreneurs, and investors along the way. And our white-coated colleagues are still at it! Join us for a rare view into some of the current MIT research that will shape the future of entrepreneurship.
