Innovation Labs

Innovation Labs bring together qualified and motivated MIT and MIT Sloan students, MIT Media Lab researchers, professors, and the business community to research and identify target applications and markets for the technology developed in the Media Lab.

The student teams offer researchers a wider outlet to assess the commercial viability of scientific and engineering innovations and allow Media Lab sponsors to examine technological directions and identify potential product markets that may not be apparent during early stage development.

Current participating companies:
• Intuit

Past companies participating in Innovation Labs include:
• Hitachi
• MIT Media Lab Smart Cities Program

Innovation Labs are currently for companies sponsoring MIT “lab” research only. If you would like to participate in a similar program, please check out our innoShips program.
