Mission of the Martin Trust Center for MIT Entrepreneurship

William Aulet

The Martin Trust Center for MIT Entrepreneurship is committed to fostering and developing MIT's entrepreneurial activities and interests in three primary areas:

Education and Research

The Martin Trust Center team educates and develops leaders of successful high-tech ventures by offering best-in-class educational courses and executive programs powered by MIT's leading-edge technology and business research.

Alliances

The Martin Trust Center facilitates business and technology partnerships by combining breakthrough academic research with practical, proven experience. Within MIT, the Martin Trust Center functions at the crossroads of technology and business, innovation and invention, new concepts and new products. We join forces with corporate and venture-minded allies to provide entrepreneurs with people, tools, and expertise to bring new products to market successfully.

Community

The people of the Martin Trust Center cultivate and nourish a thriving network that unifies academic, government, and industry leaders around the vision of entrepreneurial success. These efforts strengthen the entrepreneurial community

and build momentum for emerging ventures through interactions among MIT students, faculty, recent alums, and other stakeholders. In this way, we try to spread the entrepreneurial virus.
