How have we given $21 million in grants and helped create billions in value for MIT founding research teams, and made impact in health care, climate and other fields?

If you have a promising technology, the Deshpande Center helps you maximize the value of your team and your research to prepare for commercial impact. Learn how to bring your idea to product concept, ready for startup or license.
