MIT is exploring new pathways to build upon its entrepreneurial ecosystem, including creating additional support for startups and identifying new opportunities for successful translation and entrepreneurship, reports Greg Ryan for Bloomberg. “MIT has long had a reputation for fostering entrepreneurship: A 2015 report found that a quarter of alumni had founded their own companies, which together would have formed the world’s 10th-largest economy at the time,” explains Ryan. “Since then, MIT faculty and graduates have continued to develop new companies in technology, pharmaceuticals and other industries.”
