MIT Startup Exchange (STEX), a program of the MIT Office of Corporate Relations, facilitates introduc-
tions between MIT’s Industrial Liaison Program (ILP) corporations and MIT-connected startups. In
2016, STEX made over 300 initial introductions between ILP Members and startups. These introduc-
tions led to partnerships, licensed technology, customer agreements and other commercial arrange-
ments. 1,200+ startups are part of STEX from across all research centers and departments at MIT.
Collectively, STEX startups are shaping the future across existing and emerging industries. MIT Startup
Exchange is directed by Trond Undheim, PhD (tundheim@mit.edu), and Marcus Dahllöf (marcusd@
mit.edu).
STEX25
