Technology Testbeds

Technology Testbeds offer our members a chance to evaluate and improve emerging products, and to understand their impact on people’s lives. The Testbeds program allows companies to put their new products in the hands of one of the most sophisticated, business minded, and technically literate user groups in the world – MIT students.

Sponsor companies receive more than just standard “focus group” feedback; they get valuable product usage data and breakthrough, new product ideas. The participants deliver a detailed set of both incremental and breakthrough ideas to help take their product to the next level.

Previous Technology Testbed sponsor companies include:
• Hewlett-Packard
• IBM
• Newton Peripherals
• RIM
• Sipix
• SanDisk
