Education & Practice The Innovation Initiative supports a number of existing programs across MIT in an e ort to expand capacity to reach more students and partners. In addition, we create new educational o erings that ll key gaps in the innovation and entrepreneurship curriculum. Entrepreneurship & Innovation Minor The Entrepreneurship & Innovation Minor educates students to serve as leaders in the innovation economy with the knowledge, skills, and con dence to develop, scale, and deliver breakthrough solutions to real-world problems. They will be prepared to do so within a range of organizational contexts: an entrepreneurial startup of their own, as key members of a founding team, or as an entrepreneurial member of a large organization. Launched in fall 2016 by the MIT Innovation Initiative and jointly o ered through the School of Engineering and Sloan School of Management, the minor is designed as an interdisciplinary program with a coherent combination of conceptual and practical elements that draws on a wealth of prior educational activities in this domain.
