About the ILP

Making it happen at MIT
The Office of Corporate Relations' Industrial Liaison Program (ILP) has a strong track record of facilitating productive "meetings of the mind" to the mutual benefit of the Institute and ILP member companies.

Leading companies from across the globe turn to the ILP for professionally coordinated access to MIT experts, research facilities, and information resources that will help them bring innovation to market. For its part, MIT has long held that leading, breakthrough research is the product of open, consultative dialogue. And the MIT faculty has come to expect its colleagues at the ILP to identify companies that can add meaningful input and perspective to important new areas of scientific inquiry.

The ILP offers you streamlined access to the Institute's intellectual capital, providing a customized program that is tailored to address your company's specific business needs.
