Overview

MIT REAP is a dynamic global initiative with two programs – Global and Focus – that engages with communities around the world to strengthen innovation-driven entrepreneurial (IDE) ecosystems and transform economies. We achieve our mission by translating research insights into practical frameworks, convening stakeholders focused on IDE, and educating regional leaders through team-based interaction to achieve economic and social progress. - Translate research and expertise into practical frameworks, approaches and actions with widespread global application. - Convene stakeholders (corporate, risk capital, entrepreneur, university and government) from ecosystems around the world to build a community for collaboration and learning. - Educate regional innovation ecosystem leaders through team-based learning to facilitate meaningful economic and social outcomes. - Impact regions through the development of new programmatic and policy interventions that build on strengths and support weaknesses to support IDEs.
