MIT is world-renown for its innovation and entrepreneurial strengths.
These three regions all have strong alumni and at least some enterprise forum presences. We see a tremendous opportunity to connect the experience and resources of these alumni networks with the passion and talent of today’s students to increase prospects for success.
We took that inspiration as our starting point for the MIT Global Challenge, looking at gaps in market delivery of life-improving technologies and services.
Finally, our third goal is to create an exciting new way for alumni to engage directly with each other, the Institute and current students.
We do this over the course of two distinct phases to the MIT Global Challenge, built on top of the IDEAS lifecycle, over two years – ideation and implementation.
We’re making more awards available to teams as well, so that teams can get to work more quickly and make fundraising less of a short-term priority. In 2011 we’ll give away up to $150,000; teams will be eligible to win up to $25,000 in implementation awards.
